players might not actually like the way they play, they could simply have no choice.
I would dare to once again say that this is nonsence ...
I mean sure, there could be "some" players unable to think outside their box, so they adapt to system they hate instead of going around it ... teoreticaly, but i still have troubles imagine it. O_o
You used high ground as example ...
I would say that high ground specificly can be easily overcome ... by Arrows or roaring thunder, misty stepp and thunderwave, void bulbs (wich are surprisingly effective, when used on edge ... not even sure if there is a change to resist their pull), stealthing and shoving (wich have 100% chance for success), thorn Whip if you are Druid ... and i bet i forgot some options.
I mean, there is quite a lot options for us to use ... how is that possible that so many people believes that everyone choosed "do what i hate and complain on forum"?
And perhaps if they added the missing classes and races and some armor and customization options, and new companions, it would be more interesting to replay from a gameplay point of view.
We know for almost certain that they will not add all races into Early Acess, since Swen specificly told us that they wish to keep some as surprise for full release.
(I would dare to expect also that there is not much to test on them, so they are not quite interesting for Larian from EA perspective ... maybe except models, but as Larian showed us with elves, they will never update models anyway)
You can't keep replaying just for the same story.
And this is something i disagree completely.
Since if there is anything that BG-3 is really strong (maybe even strongest of all games i played so far) its variablitily of the story. :P
Sure ... sometimes you have to act a little ilogicaly, so you get the right outcome (like me yesterday, when i was curious about what exactly will happen when i kill Goblin Leaders and save Tieflings ... but dont manage to save Halsin ... i had to attack him, bcs he would tear those poor goblins to shreds and they had litteraly no chance. :D) but there is so many options that i would bet (concidering that i have 460h played and im still finding tidbits i never seen before) that you didnt even see them all.
In other words, there is never "the same story" unless you make it same.
