+1,
From what the OP is stating it seems that some members of this community do not want the 5e ruleset driving the game. That is fine, DOS3 will be coming at some point and we all can appreciate two distinct titles from the studio. I personally enjoy the rng shenanigans that tabletop rulesets lead too. So your a badass wizard who fails an arcana check, how does that effect the scene your in? Roleplay through the upsets, its more similar to real life. Now I do agree that it would be nice if there were more scene options or chains to follow? Absolutely. I think Crusher's conversation is a great example of what Larian is aiming for in terms of multiple outcomes based on player agency. Are they going to nail it with every single interaction? Probably not. But I appreciate the attempts and the surprises along the way.
