Negative Steam reviews are to be expected.
I don't even understand why we should be allowed to review up/down an incomplete game in development ; that is the review system should be turned on when the game is declared released (that is a Steam issue though that Larian cannot change).
On the other hand, folks are paying 60 USD to playtest it.
Any tiny measure of 'research' beforehand would have told it is not really a BG continuation.
You wrote "Don't get the early access". Larian also told you not to buy it in 9 paragraphs at the top of the Steam store.
More concretely : yes some things are annoying as hell (party and character movement/following) and are disappointing (seemingly improvised design for 5e rules implementation). As for relations and story, that is subjective. I like that it is different from other RPGs I have played. I do not need to play exactly the same feel and companions as Pillars of Eternity 1-2, Kingmaker: Pathfinder, etc. etc. etc. I have played CRPG since the 90s and there are many more classical like Solasta at the moment. So I am fine with BG3 taking risks and there is a whole year of changes ahead.
