It is quite simple, in my view - it is "Pavlov's Dog".
The name (for many) is associated to some great CRPGs, and thus interests and expectations towards such a game rises when people see the name used again.
It is no different then for Fallout "people" and I would think Elder Scroll "people" feel somewhat the same about ES:IV and so on.
However, it only takes one bad/mediocra game to destroy such an association for most, but currently - I think many CRPG players have a "good feeling" association with Baldurs Gate RPGs.
