We hear lots of <less but better quality>...No way. Its just not fun to have to pick from extremely low list of class combination...whats more only 4 slots! I guess thats a lot for you if CRPG= the Witcher.
In BG2 you could have a human Sorcerer, gnome wizard, drow cleric, elf fighter/druid, tiefling bard/thief, dwarf berserker in the same party. Oh and cherry on top, everyone is a companion and interact with each other.

Dunno but even for the 18 BG2's <shallow> companions , like it or hate it everyone who played seems to clearly remember them !
The movie like cinematic qualities of BG3 is also to its detriment in terms of class flexibility, party composition, and companion banter/dialogue interaction.

So I am in the camp: cut the ugly cinematic fat, add more companions & classes. Because realistically having both is currently impossible apparently.

It just reminded me of the bowl of goat's milk that old Winthrop used to put outside his door every evening for the dust demons. He said the dust demons could never resist goat's milk, and that they would always drink themselves into a stupor and then be too tired to enter his room..
