ThatDarnOwl and KillerRabbit, can we draw a line and move on? Or at least take the temperature down a few degrees if you want to continue discussing. Cheers!
And while I'm here, though I'd almost certainly try a BG remake in the BG3 engine if a decent one was created, personally I'm also in the camp that would much prefer new content and new stories, and I especially wouldn't want Larian to spend their time on this. Of course, if modders fancy doing it (or another studio without as much creative potential could be do it under licence), that's entirely their call!
I'm happy to move on. If ThatDarnOwl wants to recreate BG2 on the DoS engine I wish them the best of luck and I hope I will one discover that my skepticism is unwarranted.
