Alignments were a thing in all of these. Memorizing the same spell twice was a thing in all of these. Every DND video game in the last 20 years that I played had these things.
As of 5e no more and, for individual spell preparation at least, thanks god they arent. Individual spell preparation was tedious and unnecessarily restrincting
Though no one touched on my concerns about this continuing the legacy that Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 started.
Larian confirmed that quite a bunch of references will be present in the final game. Sinceraly i think most of them wont show up until Baldur's Gate city
