The shear mental gymnastics required to state that:
1. The forums are filled with complaints about the game feeling like DoS rather than BG but also 2. That is somehow not a problem for a game that is supposed to be the third game in a trilogy that only *exists at all* because of the 20+ years of popularity of those BG games
is staggering.
I absolutely concur with you on this statement. Some of the DOS fans are starting to look like twisted contortionists unable to straighten out.
I completely agree with the above.
Things blatantly similar to DOS/DOS2:
3D World design / camera Character creator Origin stories 4 playable characters Short list of companions. From 6 to 8 probably. No time; no calendar, no day/night Dialogue Tags Cursors UI Inventory management Character selection Color palette Barrel/grenades/no ammo... Surfaces Itemization Menus Trade system/windows Wacky physics (jumps for example..) Enemy HP bloat. More wacky stuff from DOS I probably forgot to mention..
Things similar to Baldurs gate:
Top down view DnD system World of Faerun aaaand....uuuh....Minsc??
New stuff:
Cinematic dialogues Hardcore cringy sex scenes.
Come one everyone now, this is 2020. We are all supposed to LOVE the current game not criticize it. Game <names> don't mean anything anymore. Like movie remakes.
