Don't get me wrong, I like that the game offers you possibilities and let's you think outside the box. It is just that Larian does not bother about teaching you those things. They tell you that you can jump and that is it. Not that you can use it to disengage, get out of environmental effects, act as a way to gain combat advantage or as a additional movement.
Issue is that knowing all of that is pretty mandatory in combat and at the very most they showed you a short tutorial clip and a sentence, yet expect all players to come up with these creative solutions on their own. That is like understanding how a motor works and then being expected to repair it.
