Of course it's not canon to the games. It's just canon for the general setting, so other games can have an outcome of it. Pretty much every FR game or tabletop setting is minimally important. And even this minimally important protagonist has a Schrodinger's cat death. Did he die to the other Bhaalspawn, or did he die to an adventurer party after going ravager on everyone? It's all stupid either way.
But yeah, I agree. That's why I said unless you can import a character, BG3 has no connection to BG1-2, and why I predict that one of these events will be referenced in the game as some kind of "See? They're connected!!" moment, as if it's not some kind of cheap cop-out.
Anyway, Bhaal isn't completely back to how he was; he reclaimed his pantheon, but came back mortal. Maybe we'll kill him (again) in BG3, since there's currently no events after that. That would be the perfect terrible woke writer ending to the entire saga; everyone involved died and nothing mattered.
