People make mistakes. I get that. They may have started out with the full intent of being 100% TT by the book and decided, "Ah crap! Budget, timing, the amount of work necessary, let's just DOS it for now and give them more D&D 5e later as time goes on."
Who knows?
I'm not out here trying to point fingers about what they promised, though I clearly remember my first time reading about the game. I remember the comments about true 5e adaptation.
BUT, I will say that what is hard to remember is whether Larian actually said it or someone else did. I will admit, with all the hype, it may have been a different source.
Regardless, the point still remains, BG3 is D&D-ISH right now. It can still be tweaked to be more D&D-ISH. I'm not expecting a full adaptation, but the more they make it 5e, the more honed and refined the game will get and the more Baldur's Gate it will feel.
