    I agree that Kingmaker and DOS2 were probably important in the interest of WotC to make a new BG game, but my guess would be that teh release of Beamdog's enhanced editions of the original games were the main direct cause. They released an interquel, and hired David Gaider away from Bioware in what everyone interpreted as getting ready to work on BG3.
    Im given to understand that the Beamdog remasters were appreciated mostly because they let you play the games on modern systems more than for any of the new stuff they put out, which tended to be mediocre for the most part.
