The crux of the post is essentially how the game doesn't feel like Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 and that many people were expecting or hoping for a game using a modernized Infinity Engine, or at least one very similar mechanically to those games. Essentialy, BG1 & 2 are 20 year old games made in an engine that was designed for a completely different genre(RTS) that just so happened to work with the rules for D&D, and both those games and BG are implementations of the D&D rules into a computerized format, albeit different editions.


That's this thread:

BG3 is turn based. Which is an improvement imo. You can't reduce BG feel to this issue. People who want to fight that battle do that on that very active thread. I think it's a lost battle.

It's confusing because this thread was a locked thread that combined three other threads about DOS and 5th ed rules. I was talking about HP bloat / AC reduction & dipping when the thread got merged. You may want to talk about 2nd ed vs 5th or RtwP vs turn based to make you point but that's not the conversation.
