Looks like Larian has no intention to make BG3 closer to actual D&D.
The druids bear form has apparently a classic video game taunt ability and the druid has no daily limit on transformations.
That’s my take on it. They are doubling down on DOS mechanics.
Once I saw the tabby cat killing a goblin, I assumed Larian has no intention of making serious combat and just wants lots of explosions and cinematics. They are the Michael Bay of video games.
