I also agree that they should be looked at in similarities to what they have to offer, but the original statement was "... in any RPG..." it wasn't just comparing the 2 properties by Larian. Using that as the basis, all of the arguments then just become subjective any way.
My 2 cents: I didn't like the combat in either of the DOS games and, while clunky yet, BG3 has brought a familiarity that I love. But that's just the old grognard in me.
