What I'm saying is that the missing is boring. That's my personal take on it. I think it's insane that some people have to have you agree with their idea of interesting when you could potentially allow for multiple configurations of game play.
But it's not D&D! haha - ok, ok. Maybe...it doesn't need to be?
I just hope none of y'all who are insisting on the world by your rules don't end up in politics.
Again, what is so wrong with having a checkbox that lets some people play 'strict D&D' and others play whatever way they want? You play the D&D game, I play the one without the misses. And the world keeps turning.
The misses work both ways. It feels good when your high AC character evades or blocks attacks and feels untouchable.
To me, DOS style combat where you're just hacking away at huge inflated HP pools feels dumb, gamey and lacks dynamics. I like RPG combat to look more realistic than gamey.
Anyway, BG3 is D&D so 5e rules are the expectation here. Much like there was no "change ruleset into D&D" switch in DOS2, which I would have strongly preferred. They obviously can't include different rulesets for all tastes in the same game.
