It could be done, though logically it would have to be centered around someone else in that same universe--your character can't go much higher than being offered godhood, after all. ;)
The problem is that while all the tools to develop a BG III are now available, there is a great deal of time spent in developing new art, plot, dialog, quests, concept, voice casting, etc. Figure at least 18 months, since Bioware is also spending most of its resources on LucasArts' new Star Wars CRPG. You can't just hire new people and throw them at a big name game. -Well, you *could,* but the results wouldn't be up to Bioware's standards. :D There have been two or three lookalikes I'm aware of--Gorasul (in particular), Evil Islands, etc. Neither of that pair came close to the atmosphere, variety, game balance or intelligence of the original.
If it's going to be done on the 2D engine, it will have to be done soon.
