Yeah, the problem is actually that people who loved BG2 will never accept WotC's canon because every time they mess with it, it just looks like nobody at WotC never actually played the game. It's embarrassing.

Baldur's Gate 3, and all of the BG2 legacy characters that WotC so carelessly dumps on, would not even exist without BG1 and BG2. All credit for the enduring love for the Baldur's Gate series is owed to the BG2 writers, not WotC. You would think WotC, Larian, and fans would show some basic respect for the hard work and thought that went into that success. But apparently not.
