All I gather from your statement is that you have not played a lot of either DoS game. Surfaces in BG3 are nowhere near as prominent or as large as in DoS 1 or 2. In DoS I can grab a random oil barrel (which are placed all around the world and especially in areas with enemies, something I think youd have a hard time pointing out in BG3) and a candle holder, drag them up behind an enemy, then back off and shoot an arrow not at the enemy but at the barrel. In the early stages of the game that simple interaction with some items feom my enviorment can take half or even all of some smaller enemies health.

I can make a starting character that has nothing but surface skills. Make it rain to spread water over a huge area, turn the water into poison and then set the poison on fire, killing entire groups of enemies without hitting any of them directly. You can not do this from lv1 with any DnD build, and I doubt it will be possible at later levels either.
