Yeah this to me has been the biggest indicator in BG3 that they didn't go hard enough on the DnD aspects of it. Ive had a similar experience of trying to play it like PnP... but it was awful. But if you play it like DOS2 its easy.

It's clear that they take a lot of influences from their Divinity series but they're making a DnD game. So it should probably be the opposite: Playing like its DOS2 is filled with issues, playing like its DnD is normal.

I'm not entirely sure what happened to the combat. They seem to want to make it more like divinity from what I can tell with cantrips as an example. So much surface effects.
