To grysqrl above, in case that was directed to me - I'm aware that the 5e rules are more restricted (and for good reason), I was just noting that the current implementation in BG3 is not, unfortunately, just a bug - it was a deliberate choice. However, with the amount of feedback people have given on the matter, it stands a good chance of being changed.
It wasn't directed at you - CJMPinger was asking about rules precedent in 5e, so I thought it would be good to post the actual rules for casting from scrolls. They definitely botched implementing the 5e rules in a way that sucks all of the joy out of playing a specific class because they're lost a lot of their differentiation.
