Minor quibble, but I'd say it's the "3" part that is currently undeserved. It's the "3" that implies it's a direct sequel to BG1&2 since those games were a ~continued story, but currently BG3 seems to stand on it's own with only easter egg references to BG1&2.

If Larian had named the game "Baldur's Gate: [Insert Good Subtitle Here]" (similar to the tabletop module BG: Descent into Avernus), then there would be much less of a problem. The story does take place near and heavily involves Baldur's Gate after all.

Yeah, unless there is some direct reference we are yet to find out about, this is where I was going, too. Or something like "xxx, a Baldur's Gate adventure".

Unless Neera makes an accidental appearance while she was trying to cast some other spell.
