I concur that BG3 should of been called something else.
I am still unsure that the Larian team even likes the previous games and lore. Or just doesn't care? Up to now, all the Larian fanfare arent really about BALDURS GATE for say, but more "Dungeons and Dragons" 5E. And even that ...so much ERRORS.
I would not be surprised that most of the Larian worldwide BG3 team haven't even finished BG2. Lots of young blood. Which is great when you make a new game, not so great when you make a sequel to one of the greatest RPGs ever made.
