Secondly, it applies to me : I am disappointed with how BG3 (especially the combat) currently feels and it is not particularly because it is not strictly following 5E (as far as combat is concerned, it's just because it isn't really good once you're passed the first 15h).
Okay, so it would appear we have more in common than not. Yes for also BG3 just doesn't look and play like a BG game. And specifically a BG video game, because I have zero interest in a BG D&D tabletop simulator.

And as a few others are saying, I find both P:WotR and Solasta to be better games than BG3 at this point (though there is still time for my view to change). Solasta's recent addition of a slew of difficulty options is exactly what I think of when someone says they're trying to be reactive to the wishes of their fans.
