What does accepting entail though. Giving up on a reasonably well designed combat? Functional UI?

I knew little about 5e when I first played BG3 and complains I had then are the same I have now (aside from some that’s been addressed, like high ground). I do hope balancing is simply not done at the moment, and that Larian keeps things as they are for shits and giggles, to compensate for subdued early level DND experience.
