Taril.... that genre switch was never desired by Larian. They've ALWAYS wanted to make turn-based crpgs (always), but industry pressures forced them to go the route of ARPGs. And it was NEVER successful. In fact, it wasn't until Original Sin, when they achieved their first tru, incontrovertible Hit.
And the overwhelming majority of Larian's fanbase would want an evolution of DOS2 and BG3, not an overhaul.
So, I think you're being unrealistic in what you think is possible, that's all. And again, I have to mention the huge risk factor involved in an overhaul as massive as the one you suggest..... especially when they're at the top like this.
Lemme ask you: if you were in their shoes, would YOU take that kind of risk?
