Lots of people don't understand what "pre-alpha" means. Spoilers: It means that things are not in a final state.
For example, complaining about the UI? If you looked at how the UI evolved from the announcement of Original Sin 1 to the final, you probably notice that the UI changes. Because that's what happens when something is in development.
Complaining about the game being "too colorful" is just plain stupid, full stop.
Complaining that combat with level 1 characters doesn't show off higher level stuff like level 5 Counterspells or level 5 Uncanny Dodge is also silly.
Well, SINCE it is pre-alpha we can still voice our opinion in the hopes that some things are changed, which is margianally better than not saying anything and being sure nothing will change, no?
On the topic of something being stupid - please, no need to be rude, if you disagree that's fine, it's simple to just say so.
On the topic of Counterspell and Uncanny Dodge - it's not about lvl 1 characters, it's about attack of opporotunity being the only reaction being possible. This is from
https://fextralife.com/baldurs-gate-iii-everything-we-know-so-far-gameplay-mechanics/ - decide how credible the source is for yourself:
"Lastly, there are a couple things that differ from 5th Edition and that is that some creatures will have or not have some spells they normally possess for balancing purposes, and normally your Reaction Point can be used for things other than Attacks of Opportunity. But in BG3, in order to prevent the player from having to click off a box to react every time an enemy takes a turn, this has been simplified into only an Attack of Opportunity."
Have a nice day!
