OP, you assume that people who are unhappy/disappointed with BG3 feel that way only because of BG3 not strictly adhering to D&D 5e rules. This is simply not true. My interest in BG3 has nothing to do with D&D. I'm not particularly invested in tabletop D&D and am mainly a video game player. My interest in BG3 is because of my love for BG1 and BG2 as video games and NOT as D&D games. Relatedly, I also love the FR setting and its lore. So my disappointment with BG3 is because I want BG3 to be a natural progression from BG1 & 2, where BG3 fully takes advantage of 2021 technology and all the advances made towards a better gaming experience for players, but generally keeps with the game formula that made BG 1 & 2 so very special as VIDEO games.
