Cartoonish animations are a matter of taste, and I don't think they're that cartoony. Chain/follow mechanic is a lot better than BG2 style. UI is already better than BG2. Core gameplay is way better even at this stage. Four man party I agree with but I understand why they want to do it. Dialogues could be better. Lack of day/night cycle doesn't matter.
I too can be superficially dismissive of anything doesn't fit my narrative, without having to prove any of my claims!
Also, the chain thing is genuinely terrible no matter how I look at it. To position my entire party in BG all it took was few clicks. In OS2 I hade to fight the fucking interface to unchain characters one by one, THEN click to position them. THEN fight the UI again for several seconds to relink them. If at very least they included an hotkey to instantly chain/unchain the entire party it could somewhat be more bearable.

Party control in Baldur's Gate 3 is a complete mess that begs to be addressed. SAY NO TO THE TOILET CHAIN
