Actually, a common complaint I’ve seen about POE2 turn based is that many have found the encounters, even minor ones, too long. I haven’t tried it out myself, though.

I’m okay with there being only 4 slots but 12 classes in BG3. I find that when I am forced to make tough choices I enjoy them more, and I’ve had a lot of fun party building in BG3, even though we only have half the classes to play with.

The last game I finished was with:

Fighter
Rogue
Ranger
Cleric

And that was a very different experience than my current game of

Warlock
Warlock
Rogue
Cleric

Swen has said respecing will be in the game, and along with multiclassing there should be plenty of room for tactical experimentation.
