I don't think it's fair to categorize DOS and D&D fans as "giving Larian a free pass." I've played a bit of DOS2, but I've played hundreds of hours of Baldur's Gate 1 and 2, and I'm also a massive D&D fan. I support the direction Larian is taking BG3.
It has literally only been a few days since PAX, and I think it's rather presumptuous and rude to demand a response to community feedback so soon, especially with the wide variety of opinions. Larian is bringing the game to early access. That alone should tell you they value community feedback. Will it change the turn-based combat? No. Turn-based is so core to the mechanics that I feel it would be impossible. But things like UI and class balance? Those things are absolutely on the table, I would imagine.
