As i said the game is very good and enjoyable in other aspects. I gave my money cause i trusted on larian to make a "true in spirit" successor to BG series. I among MANY others are not realy happy with their vision of BG. And instead of crying "make the game like i want" (wich is in fact ridiculous) i am trying to ask for a simple and optional feature to make the game at least enjoyable.

And here come the DOS elitegamers who blame others who do no like their favorite playstyle.
But the true irony is that such a feature would in NO WAY influence THEIR Gaming Experience!
Although I would not use it, I see no problem in adding an extreme Story/No-combat Mode as you describe.

I say most fights, as there has to be exceptions for logic / story. That mode would prohibit some violent options. For example, in Story/No-combat mode, you could not auto-wipe all the druids in the grove of course nor auto-wipe all the creatures in the "Goblin camp", which is fine as I know whoever chooses Story Mode would accept that and use non-combat methods (diplomacy or stealth) in the grove, etc.
