I didn't, that was never my point. Sure I think it will be far better if they canonize the developments in BG2, but my point was always even consider all the possible outcomes, including that those two characters' developments in BG2 never happened, they are still totally out of character in BG3, because BG3 directly contradicts their character cornerstones, which happened far before BG1&2 and have nothing to do with their journey/romance with the player.
