He describes BG3 as a "such a faithful adaptation of 5e rules" that the omission of Dodge surprised him.
I think, rather, that the rules are so laxidasically followed, that the omission of Dodge is expected and unsurprising.
Sadly, yea... but then again, it's ProJared, he hasen't gotten where he is now, for being to critical with "big", upcoming games.
That is a harsh comment. Being conformist shill is less of a factor for success on the YouTubes than most places. Sounds like you guys would benefit from taking a step back if his positive enthusiasm vexes you this much. Remember it's still early access and Larian has a history of using the time well.
Hey, never said I dislike the guy... just stated that being critical is easier when you haven't as much to loose, so I always take YouTube bigwig (p)reviews with a grain of salt, is all.
...and, yea, of course it is EA, but Larian also has a history to not much changing basic stuff they already have in place during EA, so I withhold my optimism for when I actually DO see some fundamental changes.
