Using the name of a good video game series in a new game that has a different lore or kind of gameplay doesn't have to turn out badly. Look at Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. The Might and Magic games was some of the best RPGs made, Dark Messiah was incredibly fun to play. I've never had the choice between killing a goblin through normal sword fighting, fireballs, arrows to the back of it's head, quarterstaff bashing, sneaking and stabbing or actually just kicking the fucker of a cliff or into some spikes. Baldur's Gate 3 can be a different but still very enjoyable game.
