Exactly my thought. Whats that undying obsession to be word for word like the books?! Have you guys even played BG2?.? I recently played again BG2. Read throuh D&Dadv.2e . Half of all the spells dont match, discriptions are different ect ect.... But somehow playing BG2 was an incredible experience, as I remembered it.. It FELT d&d.The ATMOSPHERE is spot on. BG3 doesnt have to be letter by letter a 5e game to be great.
