WotC rejected Larian's application for the license before DOS2. That means they have some standards for how faithful the adaptation will be.
You make quite an assumption there as to why WotC didn't give Larian the license to BG3.
I didn't make that assumption. My suggestion was not that they rejected it solely due to "faithfulness." If you read my post, my point was that WotC protects their brands (through faithfulness or something else) because they know they have a reputation to uphold. WotC knows that their large, profitable customer base forms associations about their products and franchises, and will compare future products to past ones. They want to maintain standards and integrity of their games. Larian knows that those same gamers will automatically bring expectations about content and quality of BG3.
