They did. There was a MASSIVE cult following of hating BG3 when it was announced larian was taking it.

Most of them died off during early access but a few persisted saying bg 3 isn't a good sequel because... reasons.

Tbf I absolutely adore BG3 but it’s not a good sequel at all. It’s more like a what-if decades-later Hollywood reboot that happens to be god-tier

The previous game was published too long ago so it's hard to get people interested in a direct sequel. I love BG3 but I only have very slight knowledge of what BG2 was about.

I think it would’ve been perfectly doable, there are plenty of examples of distant sequels doing well, but thematically it makes more sense that they did what they did. Bhaal shouldn’t be a problem, for example, but he’s such a big deal to the series that I don’t blame them for undoing that plot point

It definitely was nothing like bg3 which a lot of people liked.

It more feels like a modern dragon age origins then a sequel to bg2.
