No, it doesn't. BG1-2 did mostly just drop stuff that couldn't be translated to the video game format, BG3 invents stuff not even in the 5e rules just to make it more exciting and dynamic... we all know the list by now: Characters are able to do stuff they can't do in the rules, enemies are able to do stuff they can't in the rules, spells and items have effects they don't have in the rules, etc. etc. etc. That's not tweaking out of necessity, that's tampering by rule-of-cool.
