Looks like we have a different understanding of fun.
- Endless pre buffing before every hard fight is boring, especially if you have to do it again and again. It takes longer and longer as the game progresses.
- Fights where both opponents are buffed to almost perfect immunety against everything and where you need the right spell protection and spell protection removal tools to have a chance are also not very interesting. You have to read a guide or die 100 times until you find out how to defeat that lich and once you found out you just do the same thing again and again. It only helps to frustrate new players.
- I like the new concentration mechanic in 5E. You have to think carefully which spell to use instead of simply using all of them. Plus concentration can be broken easy (a bit too easy in BG3).
BG3 is great because of the high interactivity or reactivity. There are many ways approach almost every situation and it makes some things work that were never expected in a video game.
I do not like game just because they have the most complicated rule set ever. Making things complicated for its own sake is just annoying.
I dislike the large DOS influences in a DnD games because it means you have to repeat some nonsense OP stuff over and over (like jumping to get backstab advantage).
I like Kingmaker and WotR. But I play on normal difficulty because torturing myself with even more inflated monster stats is not my idea of fun too. I recently finished Kingmaker with a sylvan sorcerer, btw the first time I used a pure arcane caster as main char to finish a big DnD like RPG. When WotR comes out I will certainly play a martial char (probably bloodrager) since everyone and their grandmother has spell resistance, elemental resistance and immunity to status effects.
OK, then I just have to bash their skull real hard. (after endless, repetivive pre buffing, fortuanatly now with 24h duration.)
