The question is: Since its impossible ... was it even a goal? Or would studio and producers be perfectly fine with good game, that will have good sales, and will entertain lots of fans of original game(s)?
I think its certainly possible ... when i look at other series ...
I don't want a perfect game, the first bloodlines was a mess, but it had a solid story with moderately interesting characters, and the ability to make character-driven choices for gameplay that gave me different options for completing certain quests, and a small selection of ending options that made me feel like I had actually made some choices (even though there was really only 2 choices that mattered).
