I am not a rules purist. But if the intent of BG3 is supposed to be more than the cynical use of a revered brand name to make DOS3, then the spirit of the gameplay needs to change.

I am enjoying the companions a lot more now, but still feel like good natured or light hearted additions would help immensely.



Considering how much feedback they are getting on "be more like 5e" I think we'll see some changes coming. Most of those changes shouldn't be difficult to make either. Make all the combat bonus actions into actions, easy.
Give rogues more cunning actions back, also should be easy.
Tone down surfaces and make spells more true to their origins: should be easy.

And this is EA, I think they should try it out, and we can see how it works out.
