Why - because if somebody cast fireball into a group of enemies and the DM would have to keep track of burning effects (like the oil item for example) then the game would grind to a halt.

In BG3 there is no issue - the bookkeeping is done by the game for you.

OR they are 5e players who don’t like regular RPG style mechanics, aka searching through individual containers, inventory management, etc.

Can’t win I guess lol

as for warbaby. Wow just Wow. you sir take the cake. This coming from someone who regularly quotes 'People are stupid sheep.' nearly daily. You sir have taken the prize. I being an ass of epic proportions wouldn't even bother spending 60 dollars on a game I didn't like, just so I could go bitch about it on forums. Hell I wouldn't pay 20 cents on a game I had issues with, but you have done it! Congratulations I am humbled that you are so dedicated to bitching you'd go and pay to bitch even more.

By the way since your blowing money go by Dragonheist the campaign book. You may be shocked to find out what you encounter as a level 1 - 5 character, indeed you should by several campaign books and read them. Also look up Illithid, and read about them.
