Hard pass. Beamdog’s EEs are all the update the games really needed.
Modern audiences absolutely will not try to understand what THAC0 is, and that means leaving 2E rules behind. You do that and you don’t have BG anymore.
And, yes, I’m saying BG3 “isn’t BG.”

Because it’s what everything was built for. Translating it to 5E would completely change the feel of the game.

Oh, I thought they made it for story, gameplay, fun and such things, not for the obscure and overcomplicated ruleset.

For real! You might actually hit things more often if they didnt use THACO.

First fight of the game with the PC and that random assasin flailing at each other with daggers until someone gets lucky and the other guy falls on their weapon 😂
