+1, Agreed most strongly!
There are far too many mechanics-dominating surfaces and surface effects, and far too many barrels of explosions and surfaces.
No more, PLEASE! I want to focus on using my class abilities when I'm in combat, but most of them are completely overshadowed by this stupid, overbearing power balance of exploding barrels and damaging surfaces. The vast majority of combats become surface spam nightmares, just like the vast majority of battles in D:OS2, and that is NOT what I signed up for. I signed up to play a Dungeons and Dragons game, using the 5e system, as near as could be translated into a game media - that's what we were PROMISED. That's what we were SOLD on.... but that is NOT what we have right now.
Get rid of all of this excessive surface and barrel nonsense, and let the actual 5e mechanics shine. Give us dungeons and dragons; Don't insist on giving us D:OS3 - That ISN'T what was advertised.
