In who’s opinion is this not like a d&d game ? This is a d&d game pure and simple.
D&d spells, setting, characters,magic items, rules, races, combat..etc
D&D games do not stop being D&D because someone adapts for a video game medium.
D&D games do not stop being D&D because there are some slight rule changes...( yeah yeah the surfaces thing I don’t disagree with that & many other comments people have) ... but declaring it’s not D&D is just utter garbage.
Well, as you might have seen on the forum there are several threads declaring that the ea doesn't feel like a true d&d game and that its too similar to Divinity. And also stated in several threads is the understanding that some changes has to happen for the adaption i.e some divination and illusion spells that doesn't really cary over well without an active GM. And other homebrewing ideas has been welcomed as well, where it mainly improved the game without drawbacks, But many of the changes that has happened is completely unnecessary as the original rule set would work just as fine if the combat actually would have been designed around the original rule set instead of the new additions.
Also, there are several players on the forums that actively asks for the game to be more like DoS2 or even completely remove the d&d format as they don't like it. They are a minority so far, but they exist.
