such a long thread. just to cast my vote on the OP. can't say it better myself. i concur. it doesn't taste like hamburger to me as well. the biggest issue for me on how much it looks, play and feels like DOS2 to me and i'm getting the notion that larian really just wanted a DOS game in the veins of d&d which is truly wrong IMO. it's right spot on by the OP on the monster stats and the bonus action / stealth which take outs from rogue and given it to everyone else seems inappropriate personally myself. if those were taken out, would that make the gameplay worst or slower and annoying?
