And we already told you that they are not using nostalgia as PR or advertise ties with previous games nowhere besides the name. They are not using characters, mechanics, isometric, story, timeline, character and world design or even the same edition of the previous games.
Witch means they want to make their own game.
Sure. But they *are* using the BG name. And that counts for A LOT. I mean, exactly because of everything you just listed ("They are not using characters, mechanics, isometric, story, timeline, character and world design or even the same edition of the previous games"), why does it need the BG name? The game has nothing (or at best extremely little) in common with the original BG games, so why call it BG3? It would've been absolutely appropriate to make it a new IP game. But both WotC and Larian decided it should be called BG3. Clearly the BG name matters, and that can only be because they both expect the BG name, just by itself, will draw in a bunch of potential buyers who would otherwise likely bypass the game. So, not so much nostalgia as name recognition.
