Larian don't actually have the power to retcon existing lore - Video games are officially considered secondary source, and are not considered canon where they contradict or disagree with published books.
To be fair, that does mean Larian can use a non-canon implementation of Shar.
That said, Larian should make it explicit (again through dialogue, journals, highlight-popups) exactly how their Shar differs from canon.

SH is not a trustworthy source. She will not give us the general population's view of Shar and anything she says should be viewed with suspicion. Members of cults probably won't be objective about their cult.
