Again more strawmen. How does "not looking like a game from 20 years ago" equal "must look like D:OS2"? Nobody is saying the game should look like what the original games looked like. The question is why does it look like D:OS?
As for the critics being "silly" or "children," well, lots of Larian sycophants and fanboys here. See how easy it is? Insults can go both ways.
Because DOS was a success and their building off of that success. But don't insult my intelligence by saying this isn't the DnD 5th edition rules.
I would actually be very happy if this was the D&D 5e rules - instead, there are no real reactions apart from an automatic AoO and almost all of the bonus actions present are actually disguised actions. I was expecting some deviation from the ruleset to make it better for the videogame format but with this they better come out with an entire ruleset/handbook to the game so you at least know what you can and can't do - even if 3/4 of it is copied from the PHB, that last 1/4 being different is quite a lot.
