Larian's vision is a big reason for the feedback being so negative - it's not an interpretation of DnD, it's an adaptation with a lot of things included that might make a great game but do not make a great DnD game.
TLDR: Larian has taken DnD, spun it larian-style and has failed to hit overwhelmingly positive.
Being real though, isn't that you having expectations of the game being something it's not (A DND clone), and being upset about that on the grounds that you had expectations and because they aren't met somehow it's taking something away from you or "What DND is" ?
I'm just trying to gain insight to the mentality here on these sorts of things.
