+1 (though I continue to have a soft spot for 3.5e)

People (not you) in this forum (and in this thread) continue to conflate disliking Larian's homebrew rules with wanting 5e purity. A person can like or dislike 5e. A person can like or dislike Larian's homebrew rules in BG3. The two things are separate and independent factors and a person's preference in one does not determine their preference in the other.
