OP I disagree because all of this is just subjective ranting.
You're not wrong. You're just fail to understand that's your opinion is highly subjective that everything you dislike is automatically "Fact!", those what Larian did is "Lazy writing".
I love Baldur's Gate 2 but stop putting this game on high pedestal when it's already outclassed by every modern iteration since Dragon Age Origins.
Baldur's Gate 3 has objectively surpassed BG2 in term of production value, reactivity and quest structure. AD&D has been surprassed by DnD 3.5/Pathfinder 1e. Even Bioware has created much better game with better written dialogue (structure wise) and much more memorable companion.
Put down the rose tinted glasses for once and see the game for what it is.
Baldur's Gate 2 will never, ever be remade. It lives in your head and heart - and let it rest there.
I leave it to you white mourning.
