I've been watching a friend stream Divinity: Original Sin lately, and I'd forgotten the surface apocalypse that it was. Baldur's Gate 3 is actually massively toned down on surfaces compared to the D:OS games.
It's still more than I have seen in any D&D game unless you have a sadistic DM that like party wiping you and making everyone roll new characters. Just saying they are still making it feel a lot like an original sin you have to watch everywhere you walk because of surface effects that should not be in the middle of nowhere guarding nothing but just for the sake of having it there.
