I haven't played the tabletop version of 5e and don't really have such reference. But Larian's changes bother me too. The gameplay focus is way too much on environment and consumable items like scrolls, arrows and food. And limitless resting.
I have never seen such a comical and unrealistic take on Faerun in a CRPG. And it bothers me. I can't take the characters or the story seriously when the gameplay is so comical and tongue in cheek.
And I think the exaggerated Shove distance is actually a big problem mechanically too because it makes shoving enemies, even bosses, to instant death so easy.
