This quote is talking about DoS's early access but if we're translating this to BG3 he's not wrong.
Oh, was he talking about the DOS2 Bless? I very rarely used Bless even in the definitive ed because to me DOS2 combat was all about dps race and perma cc's, and also because how enemies just curse you again every turn anyway... I use buffs like Bless and Protection from Evil all the time in BG2, all the way to the final fight of the expansion. In the end, how much players are interested in what has a lot to do with how the whole system is designed; it's not as simple as because "I wanna see damage and fireworks".
