Since it would seem that every game from Heretic to Heroes of Might and Magic feels like playing D&d to you, it's understandable why you wouldn't understand the complaint. Don't get me wrong - that's also valid, sure... but it's worth about as much credence as a deaf person saying that they like enjoying the music and don't understand why other people are complaining that the instruments need tuning.

Actually no - I only really like D&D games above all else - tried dos2 - can’t stand the character types - poor substitutes for real d&d ones ..for me personally I think this game is the culmination of waiting 30+ years for a true d&d game - I can only tell by the hours of ea I’m playing & the other rpgs I’ve played that while some were good none really scratched that d&d feeling - although I’ve not played tabletop for 20 odd years I’ve always wanted to get that feel of it again - BG3 is doing that for me in spades. It’s not perfect but I think at full release this will be a very special game.
