Now for others, how about having it hard and tactical by removing the cheese elements and making more D&D ,difficult and more atmospheric/less silly?

Wouldn't that be amazing. Both worlds, we pick.
Right now its a one way fromage carnival street. Making it just smellier <hard> <very hard> <impossible> won't change the type of cheese. We need options to remove/add stuff.

So much of this could be solved with a customized D&D options menu. But after 2 years not a hint of such thing could be available...So MODS I guess.
Even the first months of EA for Pathfinder WoTr, I think there were way more gameplay options/customization than the 2 years of BG3 EA combined.
We still have to see the implementation of difficulty settings. It has been hinted at but we haven't heard of it a single time.
