Larian yelled, "Let's play American football!". I came running expecting American football. Instead, I got European football.
Where? And i mean it litteraly ... please show me at least single interview, promotion video, show, ... ANYTHING ... that would support this claim please. Meanwhile i repeat to you few examples that supports otherwise:
We want to have that Dungeons & Dragons feeling, not slavishly following every single one rule, but really getting the feeling of playing this tabletop experience but everything is being done for me, this dungeon master is doing everything automatically, I'm just having a good time.
BG3 is based on the fifth edition [of D&D]. We started by setting out the ruleset very meticulously, and then seeing what worked and what didn’t work – because it is a videogame, and D&D was made to play as a tabletop game. So for the things that didn’t work, we came up with solutions.
So what you can expect in BG3 is us giving you more tools to fool around with based on fifth edition rules and on some of the things that make the fifth edition so cool and accessible.
Baldur’s Gate was the definitive D&D game of it’s generation, and that’s what we’re trying to create, but we’re also trying to make a good video game first and foremost, rather than a strict D&D adaptation.
To put it in D&D terms, we’re your dungeon master and this is our campaign that we’re running, so there will be our own flavour and house rules. We’re bringing you one particular visualisation of this world, but that doesn't mean that there cannot be others.

Nah ... That is just your opinion ... dont get me wrong, im aware that this part of forum litteraly exists so we can express our wishes ... But that is all it will ever be. :-/ Just your wish, ask, demand, w/e ...
No matter how hard you will repeat it, no matter how other topics you start, no matter how many other inacurate examples you bring ... The problem is still the same you *want* something you didnt get, nothing more. :-/
