Throwing words like betrayed around when it's simply a matter of your goals (a D&D 5E simulator) and Larian's goals (a fun video game based on D&D rules) are different is silly.
Well, there is a D&D simulator (Solasta) which demonstrates that combat can be 10 times more fun than in BG3 when you just stick to the table top rules.

I would not care one bit if there rules had nothing to do with D&D at all, if their combat would only be half as fun as a D&D 5E simulator.

I am just not happy with 10 times as boring and 10 times as convoluted.
