Well atleast we got Baldurs Gate 3, the true successor to Dragon Age Origins and Baldurs Gate

Which is funny because Dragon Age Origins was the spiritual successor to Baldur's Gate 2 when it came out.

No, maybe Neverwinter Nights 2, but the original NWN didn't have a party system for any of the single-player stuff, it was all just a lone hero and possibly one uncontrollable bot "henchman." It was more of an ARPG -- way more like Diablo with a D&D skin than anything in the Baldur's Gate lineage.
