Welcome to Larian 5e D&D. They've made countless changes that deviate significantly from 5e, and without exception all these changes have drastically influenced the balance of gameplay. Over 45 years of D&D evolution casually tossed aside to make BG3 more similar to Larian's own DoS games. There's over 70 pages of threads talking about these issues. We can only hope, that being an EA game, things will significantly improve before an official title release. We'll see.
Dramatic much?
It's clearly based on the DoS engine and they haven't converted it all over yet. Get off your high horse
