wait. bg3 is influenced by the bg2 story?
Somewhat. It's story is mostly independent, but it does take place after 2 and therefore has canonized several of the decisions you could make in 2, as well as a few returning characters.
interesting. I had not played 2 and 3 seemed like such a contained story I did not think there was any crossover.
Spoiler for Shadowheart's story

Viconia is a recruitable party member in bg1 and 2. You can even make her not evil at the end. I was bummed that they decided that she just stays evil.And for the main plot in act 3, with a certain bhaalspawn.

You can also redeem sarevok, but they just decided that he's evil.Annoying, but I get why they didn't do like a save import from an ancient game.
Yeah, not sure who was in which games, but Minsc and Jaheira were grouped with one of the protagonists, and at least one of the games had another Bhal spawn.
minsc has been in a lot of games though yeah? I think he was in the neverwinter mmo.
Not sure, the only game I played before BG3 was Dark Alliance 2 on PS2 around 20 years ago. Well that and homebrew 3.5e/5e tabletop, but that obviously was unrelated story-wise.
Other than Jaheira, almost all of the connective tissue is found in Act 3, but that makes sense, because it takes place in the titular city. There are at least two characters in Act 3 that are not in your party that return from previous games.
spoiler
One is in the Shar temple, and one is in the Bhaal temple.Minsc and Jaheira were in both BG1&2, the big bad of BG1 was a Bhaal spawn as was one of the protagonist's friends. There's more characters from the older games, such as

Shadowheart's mistress/boss/whatever
