Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General New interview with Sven by Gamespot

DOS had plenty of lousy systems even ignoring the comparison with D&D, frankly.
It's a game that I liked despise some of its design choices, rather than because of it.

There's an underlying problem, though: it's a game that thanks to its high production value (nice enough graphics, fully voiced, pretty to look at, reasonably intuitive to approach, etc) popularized a former "niche genre" among people who never paid attention to it before, so these "new fans of the genre" now seem to think everything about its design was pristine and it can't be topped.
