I agree but It's because it is a game with a linear story so the map is laid out that it progresses you through leveling and to the stories end. It is not an open world game.
loved this kind of comments because they perfectly aim the problem with BG3 without trying to do so.
BG was an amazing and cool open-world with a lot of palces without any utility but which just have to be. You could reun across a forest map, there was not much but hey it's a forest, it's normal.
So, As I was saying, this kind of comments, even if it's not their purpose, exactly show why BG3 isn't in the good way to be a truthworthy successor of the BG licence.
