BG2 is just timeless. Looks cool, works good and easy to understand.
Why not just IMPROVE that formula for BG3?

I have a feeling that EVERY single decisions for the UI had the <console gamer> and Xbox controllers in mind.

BG3 is in dire need of stylistic identity. It's bland... but it has hints of what could contribute to its style. Like the UI golden borders. They look great, but it's not enough. I think a simple background/texture would make a world of difference. Add some parchment behind the "spellbooks". Some stone texture in other UI elements and so on.
