We can crow about the design of the combat system all we like, but I do wonder what the community cares about *more*, which is why I deliberately left out 'closer to 5E rules' since that means so many different things (and encroaching into the 'add reactions' option). That's something that hasn't really been measured yet.
I voted the first because having a "mechanically tight" game is by far the first priority and the FOUNDATION on which everything else should be built over, as far as I'm concerned, but I'll second that it's a bit of a strange poll in terms of options offered.

For a start it's dangerously close to a false dichotomy since none of these options is strictly mutually exclusive and there's a also a blatant disproportion on the workforce involved in achieving each of them (first and third points piled together arguably don't come close to the overall cost implied in the second point).
Last but not least, I'm not sure how to feel about having the "evil path thing" (something I personally hardly even care about) with having a lot more reactivity and interaction between companions/characters (something that on the other hand I would like to see a lot).

Party control in Baldur's Gate 3 is a complete mess that begs to be addressed. SAY NO TO THE TOILET CHAIN
