This was not marketed as a hack/slash D&D game. It was marketed as a Turn Based Close to Tabletop D&D Experience. We are not getting that. End of story.

Don't market it as authentic Tabletop D&D PC game and then not do that.

I'm on your side but did they? Their word lawyers did a fine job to leave a lot open for interpretation. Is there a source that says Larian wanted to create an authentic TT RPG?

Again, I'm on your side. I would love BG3 to be more faithful to 5e but I don't remember Larian guaranteeing or even promising such a thing.
