Well Volo and Elminster are long established FR characters and not characters created for the video games. Before BG3's release I would have said that all the classic game characters should have just been left completely out of it - they all had epilogues at the end of Throne of Bhaal so best to just leave them be. As it's too late for that, either just have one - I would say Jaheira in this case - or go all in and do a proper sequel. Obviously it would be silly if every old companion got turned to stone to be revived a century later, but finding and rescuing would have been better as a quest attached to Aerie, who would still be a young elf, and given more connective tissue between the games. Viconia and Sarevok just being put in as memberberries essentially is disappointing. And I do think BG3 is very good, and Jaheira is very good overall, which is why it's a pity that there are parts where the ball was dropped.
