One claim I have seen made by a few people though is that it "doesn't feel like a Baldur's Gate game". I've kind of had that feeling a few times myself and I can't quite put my finger on why. One thing that has been running through my mind is the ruleset.
I think it will vary from person to person. Clearly for some abandoning of RTwP system is crossing the line in itself. For myself, combat in BG1&2 was just means to an end, so while I do have issues with combat when to how it plays as a game, the change itself is something I welcome.
I don't really think of it as Baldur's Gate game, never had, but if I did I would take more issues with tone and overall sloppiness of the narrative side of the game. Even ruleset aside, there is just very little BG DNA in BG3. And then you add Larianisms in the ruleset, which don't align with D&D fundamentals.
