[No Spoilers] Probably gonna pick up BG3 regardless, but I want to adjust my expectations - does the story have anything to do with BG 1-2 or the Bhaalspawn?

Back in the early pandemic days I played through all of BG 1 and 2 on the switch with a completely fresh character. I loved the scale of the games, how it gradually grew from personal coming of age quest up through a continent-ending plot to resurrect the dead god of murder.

Ever since it was announced I've wondered if BG 3 has anything to do with the previous games. Does the actual plot involve the Bhaalspawn? Or the events of the previous games in a major way, like the iron crisis, Jon Irenicus, the vampires in Amn, etc? No major spoilers, please, since I'm probably going to grab the game anyway, but I want to temper my expectations if it's not a true third installment that follows on the themes of the first two (divinity, the value of a soul, what it means to control your destiny, the danger in being friends with someone immensely powerful, etc).

Thanks!
