I agree with a lot of the comments already posted, I'd much prefer the 5e implementation of the spell than how it works in BG3. I can understand tweaks for the sake of a video game, but Chromatic Orb is just frustrating when your party members are in melee combat and I don't see how this change makes the spell any better.
Also I didn't notice the new spells to be available to Gale, Wizards should have access to any spell a sorcerer can cast.
