    If it’s nothing like them, that does make me wonder why it’s named as the third in the series instead of something different entirely like the game itself is.

      Most likely? Nostalgia and familiarity. We’ll probably never know if the decision to make it Baldur’s Gate 3 was WotC/Hasbro’s or Larian’s.

      There’s precedent, though. Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance had less of a connection to Bioware’s BG than this one does.

        Sure, Dark Alliance has almost nothing to do with the BG CRPGs other than the setting. But it also wasn’t named as a direct sequel to them, either.

        And I get the corporate reasons for it. But I think those reasons are stupid if the game actually has nothing to do with the games it’s supposed to be a direct sequel to.
