Even if they really want to use an existing series for the brand recognition, they could do Neverwinter Nights or Icewind Dale or something.

    IMO Don't try to make a sequel, just make another story in the world. Call it Baldur's Gate: GameTitleGoesHere

    I'd take IWD though, I loved those games and own physical box copies I picked up at compUSA, and i'd even take it as a combat heavy spinoff with light story, just like the first one. Getting bogged down with dialogue in every city is a turnoff for me as much as I adore BG2/3. Was so nice bringing my own party and exploring the world, one dead beetle, lizardman or undead at a time.

    Ooh, another Icewind Dale would be amazing. It's been 26 years.

    While we're at other properties, when's the last time Drizz't made an appearance? We should do a Drizz't game.

    I am half concerned WoTC forgot the lore in the intervening 13 years since the last book, but they did release the Magic card a little while ago so perhaps they will do something interesting with him again.
