Agreed. Give me 5e rules difficulty settings and shut me up.
Now here's a good point.
I'm tired of posting feedback without hearing any kind of state of development / plans / roadmap / thoughts from Larian. If they could only state that "there will be a D&D RAW game mode" I could just shut up and wait for it.
Are they even reading this forum??
Maybe they're not sure themselves. Perhaps they're working on it now, but want to make sure they can pull it off successfully before revealing it to the public. Or who knows, maybe they have no intention whatsoever and don't have the heart to tell us.
I for one would love DnD rules. Though I play 5e and love it, I have fun with all the bonus actions they give in BG3. Still, combat encounters feel pretty easy the second time you go through them. It would be nice to have something to up the difficulty. Fewer bonus actions may not seem like much, but they go a long way.

I'm unfamiliar with the Forgotten Realms setting. TBH, this is my first experience with it. I don't think it's connection to DnD is shallow at all. There are some key differences that come from it being a single player video game, like having full control over the entire party, and there are home brew rules, but what DnD group doesn't have home brew rules? My group plays with lingering injuries. Larian has extra bonus actions, environmental effects, super jumps, etc. At the core of it all, it still feels like DnD to me.
