a) In any adventure you have heroes. Heroes live to make a mess of someone's home and to take other people's items. A dungeon crawl is nothing without someone designing, building and populating the place, evil plots can't be stopped if the artefacts are all safe and the villains gone missing. To be a hero you need someone else's order to disrupt, using Of indicates that you can.

b) It's shorter than From, less awkward than 's, and best of all you have a vowel in your acronym of the title making it easier to pronounce. Note that BG: Dark Alliance is an exception to the Of rule, as Alliance of Darkish Nature just doesn't flow the same.

c) It's just wrong without an Of in it. See below:
Baldur's Gate: Sword Coast Tales
Baldur's Gate 2: Amnish Shadows
Baldur's Gate 2: Bhaal his Throne
Icewind Dale: Winter's Heart
Icewind Dale: The Luremaster's Trials
Neverwinter Nights: In the Shadow cast by Undrentide
Neverwinter Nights: Hordes from the Underdark
Neverwinter Nights 2: The Mask that Betrayer has
