Personally, I hope the game sticks to DnD rules as much possible, for several reasons: 1. There is no other game that does that. There are plenty of games that try to do original things. I like the diversity. 2. BG3 does not seem to focus mainly on combat. The story is interesting, the characters are well written and voiced, and the environment is beautiful. I enjoy the immersion and don't want it to fall into a hack&slash game where all effort is in combat. 3. I have an emotional connection to DnD which definitely adds to the experience. I didn't finish DoS even though I thought it was a great game because I was not connected to the world and system. 4. If Larian do too many changes they will change the game closer and closer to DoS - it would be natural for them (the game already have strong DoS vibes). This directly hurts the nostalgic feeling I want from a BG game. 5. I really want to be able to plan a character using the DnD resources and being it to life in the game.
