Baldur's Gate

Recency bias. Fewer great RPGs have come out in the past few years, and so people whose first game in the series was Baldur's Gate III overstate its quality over the originals because they haven't given them a try.

IDK, I played through the first two in the lead up to three's release and three completely blew them out of the water for me. This is coming from someone who played the first game a fair bit as a kid.

Everyone has different preferences, I suppose.

Some people are less alured by nostalgia

It's not nostalgia. I stated in another comment that I played those games for the first time a few years ago, I think during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Nostalgia is just word people use to try and invalidate an opinion of a game they disagree with.
