In the early days, right after the first trailer dropped, all I remember is the discussion centered around BG2's unfinished quest involving the Illithids in the sewers under the Temple District. And that quest's connections with truncated Jan Jansen's quest-line involving the Hidden.Everyone seemed to think Larian was planning to play off the loose threads as one way to connect BG3 to the previous installments.Who knows really? But, I imagine that it's something story related, otherwise there's no need to be too secretive.
