We went from a immersion-centric game to a game that completely disregards immersion in favor of game mechanics. How is that fair?
The game doesn't completely disregard immersion. That's a baseless accusation.
Again, this is what I mean when I talk about buzz words and hyperbole.
Buzzwords? Like "rose tinted glass", "BG3 feels like Baldur's Gate"?
How many CRPGs don't have a day/night cycle? How many CRPGs have a world with virtually zero local fauna and inhabitants? What are the chances of having a Druid Grove, a Selune Temple and a Lich Crypt so close together?
We are lucky that the Nautiloid didn't crash north, otherwise we wouldn't have any Early Access content.
