Seems to me that the story for a Baldur’s Gate III doesn’t necessarily have to involve the Bhaal-spawn storyline specifically. If the story involved the actual city of Baldur’s Gate again, it could lay claim to the title (and fan base that comes with it). As I recall, we last visited Baldur’s Gate to deal with an influx of doppelgangers (and Saravok) that had infiltrated the highest citizens in the city. By the time we left, several of the ruling council had been killed, and the police force and merchant class had been left in disarray. I could see a story that dealt with the aftermath of BG1 on the city itself, perhaps leading to the formation of a new government, taking over the merchants, or rising in the ranks of the protective force as goals for the PC (who is not related to Bhaal in any way!). Many unused characters from BG1 could be seen again, including Alora, Eldath, and Skye.
