Bg1 and 2 are some of the best rpgs I've ever played, I still play them now.
Rtwp allows for fast combat when fighting easy monsters and lets you set your own paceing, i personally miss it in bg3, i miss the depth of dialog trees from bg2 i miss a lot of the feel, that path finder captures a little better, it certainly has its faults and the game trails off about half way threw, but imo pathfinder feels closer to what a modern bg3 should be then what Larian has created, not to say bg3 is bad, its amazing and way better then dos2.
Im glad most people are happy with the game, but i can certainly understand why a lot of the old school fans are not
