I know. I'm suggesting a possible fix for that.
Unfortunately, at this point in the development cycle, I don't believe there is a solution. Those game mechanics are baked into every aspect of the game, even level design. I don't believe Larian could move away from the path they've chosen, even if they wanted now.
Man at this point, I would just LOVE seeing a FLAT battlefield
somewhere.
I would love to see choke points. Cover. Confined spaces. More dynamic battlefields rather than always the same king of the hill race where enemies are widely scattered and given extra ranged options and surface bombs.
I want to place my heavily armored Fighter in a choke point, cut off a horde of zombies and AoO the bejeezus out of anyone who tries to get past me to reach the squishy party members. When was that ever possible in BG3 EA? Even the goblins don't have a melee horde to wall off. Or to put to Sleep.
