Canon's a tricky thing, man, and it's something RPG makers especially always have a hard time contending with. When a story could have starred like, thousands of permutations of the same hero and had maybe four or five distinct endings (not including side quest outcomes), what do you take to use as the "official story" for the basis of a sequel?
Baldur's Gate 3 takes place over 100 years in the future from the events of the first two games, and I'm just crossing my fingers that Larian, as much as possible, glazes over the "canon" version of Baldur's Gate 1 and 2's story, as well as what happens to their hero after.
