I guarantee that even if Larian changes most of the combat system, there will be people who will complain that it is not 100% DnD or BG.
IMHO the problem is, that it was predictable for larian. If you announce "baldurds gate 3" and announce, that it will be implementing "DnD5e Rules"... Better expect people to expect a game that adapts DnD5e Rules. Obviously the game will be successful no matter what, and perhaps it is indeed a minority wanting it to be stricter DnD.
Though one should consider close P&P adaptations by owlcat being largely successful and just bashing crowdfunding goals in minutes.
This is why i wrote that so passivly. Its absolutely fair for me, if its not close to DnD. I would have just liked to know it before, because i certainly didnt expect the game to be THAT different from DnD gameplay. And i followed many many pre-release contant videos.
So in my mind, seeing the game as it is right now, it would have been widely accurate from larian to say "do not expect PC game, that feels like DnD, especially in terms of combat". Anyone who was looking for that, could have gone "yeah its not my game then, carry on, i wait for wrath of the righteous".
Since i very much think Larian is a good and professional game studio, i´m more than certain, that they were not so out of touch with reality, that they actually thought their combats feel anything like DnD and not like DOS. They must have known that, in case they did any research into 5e. And as i said, i think they did.
Thanks vometia for the insight.
I hope they will do some sort of press release to give an honest statement about their intentions.
Also there remains some hope, that some competent people migh write mods for it to make it actual DnD. Because putting the rule-mechanics aside, i think the game is fkin beautiful and flavorful.
