Oh absolutely, with Beandog, the franchise is in much better hands than with EA and they're obviously enthusiastic about it. However, by creating a storyline interjecting into BG1 and 2, they invite a much more direct comparison to the old games - changes will suddenly be bad just because there are changes and anything even slightly not fitting into Bioware formula will be criticized. People tend to be a lot more forgiving when it comes to spinoffs.
