To be honest, I'm a little worried about possible changes to the lore. On the one hand, I want the new game to be accessible to newcomers, but on the other hand, I don't want to lose the details and the world we knew from the previous instalments. It would be great if Larian could strike a balance: make the plot understandable for new players, but at the same time not ruin the story for those who have played all the previous games. I wonder if they are planning only light references to old events, or if there will be some serious retcons?
Its a bit different as it was not their own IP, but in BG3 they did not really care for established lore and invented and retconned as they pleased.
