Exactly. + 1

All they had to do was to stick to the rules and only change something if it was impossible/hard to implement in a video game format. But they decided to make it "fun experience" and now we have their shove, their magic hand and their "reactions" instead of the DnD system.

I would get some homebrew for different difficulty levels (like bonus action potions in easy mode or something). But they completely messed the core things instead. Now they're either have to redo A LOT to present a proper dnd system (in some difficulty setting atl east) or their product won't even be a dnd game in my eyes.

It baffles me how many people on this forum don't understand how much easier it would have been for Larian to use the pre-developed D&D systems instead of trying to reinvent the wheel.
