I ignored your first post because it read like bait to me. You went through the effort of actually listing similarities with this post - unfortunately, most of them are surface-level, or merely what we call tropes, or genre conventions. The rest of them can be chalked up to Larian's brand of quirkiness, or easter eggs. A signature or recurring element does not mean a work merely is a copy of another. I'd be like saying that Path of Exile is BG3 in ARPG form, given how much of your list actually does apply for that story as well. You wake on up a beach after a shipwreck. The first act boss is a sea witch in her lair. You explore ancient tombs and other long-forgotten places of corruption. You help various exiles and refugees who are all guided by a wise leader. You go through a series of challenges to earn the boons of several gods. There are two divine sisters locked in an eternal conflict. The grand finale takes place in the major city from where you were exiled, where you face the Ancient Awoken Evil, of course. The FromSoft comparison from that anon above is apt - you wouldn't say Demon's Souls is Dark Souls is Bloodborne is Elden Ring. Even though the similarities and recurring themes are undeniable.
