Don't want beamdog. They're deep with the SJW infection and had to introduce a forced tranny character in a game with high fantasy and gender changing magical items. Even Edwin's character arc had him being cursed to become a woman.
Larian has made quality already. We can expect more high quality and less forced trannies.

Larian's humor is VERY larian. It either hits or it misses. It usually misses, but I can appreaciate the attempt.
They made an entire RTS game mocking the social justice movement.
That said, they're the devs that I would trust most with Baldurs Gate. Obsidian tried hard to recapture it and failed, but I think part of that was nonsensical writing when the expecation was for gritty pseudo-realism and just that they were trying too hard to recapture it. Larian won't face the first problem... if they write something serious it will be surprising, and for the second it does need to be updated mechanically.
I don't think they'll make an Epic Game that captures the attention of people for a decade... but I do think they'll make a decent game. Decent for a baseline is just fine with me.

Which is why the tranny was bizarre. He was a tranny in a high fantasy world DESPITE gender changing items existing.

I sure as hell hope it's not 2e again because it doesn't translate to video games well at all. I want 5e, but I'd settle for 3.5

Well, I'd have to imagine that, even if Larian hadn't wanted to, WotC would insist on any new game using the current ruleset. It's one thing for the re-release of an old game to use a dated ruleset, it's another thing entirely when it's the first proper game release in years.

There's no doubt in my mind it'll be 5E. Anything else would be absolute retardation.

This is going to happen no matter what they do. It's probably one of the few fanbases that could put the Fallout fans (when 3 was coming out) to shame when it comes to resisting change in the name of nostalgia blindness.
BG2 was and still is one of the best games ever made, but the gameplay was garbage in many areas and the UI is barely functional, but some will be outraged by any of it changing.
I have faith in Larian. I only hope they keep a more grounded tone to it than DoS1/2
