I totally agree.
They are missing the point and I begin to regret to have paid for the first time of my life for an EA. I feel like I gave undeserved credits.
I agree with the OP too.
One of the massive problem with Larian is their will to transpose the DOS2 gameplay in BG3. The barrelmancy is a typical example of why it can't work.
DOS 2 was a little "absurd" universe, one where moving barrels everywhere and becoming the king of barrels explosions could be acceptable but BG3 is more of a "serious" universe.
You can't imagine reading a forgotten realms novel like "And then Drizzt Do Urden send away 6 barrels of oil he carry on him before sending a stupid candle on it, burning all his ennemies to death"
or even "After the ennemies saw him, Drizzt decided to let them move first. The first ennemy climb a a cliff and send a fire arrow on him, the second ennemy jump on him and shove him to the ground, the third ennemy rush on him and hit him twice and then the last ennemy jump on him and shove him again. Finally, Drizzt decided to fight back. He jumped to leave the pit where he was and attacks one of his ennemy once, then, hurt and burning, Drizzt decided to stay still and wait again because it was only fair to fight this way and far more strategic."
It's absurd, it's DOS, not BG.
