With competition from games, such as Pillars of Eternity 1 and 2 or the upcoming Black Geyser: Couriers of Darkness, possibly also Pathfinder: Kingmaker, Beamdog would be ill-advised to spend resources on an enhanced edition of IWD2 if they got the source code. They better invest into creating a completely new game based on their modified Infinity engine.

theyd probably have to kickstart a complete remake if it would ever happen.

I remember reading about how Baldur's Gate 3: Black Hound became Neverwinter Nights. I was upset back in the day because I wanted more BG and hated the Aurora Engine (still do), but they could always hire some writers and make a BG3 with the Infinity Plus Engine. I'd play that.

i think most fans while they would love a BG3 would hate the series being "ruined"
the safer bet with less potential backlash would be an Icewind Dale 3/ total remake of Icewind Dale 2

Guys, find the way to make Icewind Dale 2, please...
I know reverse is too expensive, but maybe some kind of double check for the source?

the source code is in narnia and probably doesnt exist only real way would be to total remake the second in BG2's ruleset which would require a lot of balance checking and totaly changing the spells and gear
also i would like to say i am pretty sure beamdog does not look at these forums you would be more likely to get a dev responce on their forums
