We've already seen with Halsin what happens when they try and force in characters for fan demand. The best thing to do would be to remove them outright. Forcing characters who don't ha a purpose in a story to occupy even more space within that story is a recipe for disappointment.

Also I don't for a moment think wotc had anything to do with this. Clearly Larian was not meaningfully beholden to anything.
Couldn't agree more. Better to not touch a good character than to ruin it, and to produce this mangled garbage with S and V, Larian obviously doesn't want to bother to make them justice. So let's just remove them and replace them with whatever else that doesn't tie with BG.
