Apparently DOS2 had the same control scheme, sold well, got good reviews. BG3 will probably sell even better. Even if the text of most reviews points to the same issue, in the end all that matter is the final score. If Steam/Metacritic say it's a critical success, and sales say it's a commercial success, then it's a success. Then controls are not a problem. And if there's no problem, there's no need for a solution. Anyway, pure speculation....
Seems like this is what Larian are clinging to. "DOS2 sold well so people must love the movement mechanics" Yeah... no Larian, DOS2 sold well in spite of it's movement mechanics.
