After seeing some gameplay footage, this game seems more like a spiritual successor to Dragon Age: Origins than to Baldur's gate 1 & 2. Of course Dragon Age was intended as a spiritual successor to Baldur's gate back when it was released. Even the hype is very similar to Dragon Age: Origins, and how journalists were surprised that an "old school" RPG like this could be so popular.

I appreciate this note - I have no exposure to the original games, but Dragon Age: Origins was one of the best games I've ever played.
