i thik we all made a misstake in thinking that larian is allowed to listen to us WotC hates us so they probalt forcing Larian into making bad decisions like push jump and the annoying companions.
What?
I don't think Larian is influenced by Owlcat, probably more in the other direction.
Look, Larian thinks the shove thing is funny. And for new players who have not played D&D that's probably true. For the rest of us I hope there is a toggle for it, otherwise it's getting modded out - probably with a pack that enforces core rules.
