The question now is, does Larian care enough about both segments of their consumer audience to do what's necessary to make them both happy?
Probably not. In his own words he only bought into DnD to expose more people to his other games by introducing them to his ideas, not to make an actual DnD game of any ruleset flavor. It is a choice. An unfortunate choice, imho. But a choice. I bought the game strictly because of the Baldur's Gate and DnD promise. Not because I enjoyed D:OS (Which I did D:OS 1, but not so much D:OS 2.)
