Again, I am not comparing the two. When I talk about BG, I mean BG2. It is, overall, a more refined and tighter designed game. I have many issues with BG1&2, especially after playing PoE, which while not perfect, did improve on the formula in couple, important to me aspects.
The difference, which matters to me between BG2 and D:OS2, that if something goes wrong in BG2 I would try the encounter again and try something different. I could retry the same encounter multipletimes, with the same party composition and attempt to solve it in multitude of ways. That's also the memory I have of D:OS1. Not so much with D:OS2.
Then your memory is completely and totally wrong.
Reloading and trying something different and attempting to solve an encounter in a multitude of ways is how I played the ENTIRETY of DOS 2. It's just flat-out wrong to claim you can't do that in DOS 2, just flat out wrong. In fact, I'm going to call that a deliberate lie, and that damages your credibility.
