Let me put it this way: almost everything I like least in BG3 (judged by the EA) is a legacy of the DOS games. So I certainly hope it will turn out to be very much unlike DOS2 overall.
I actually agree, especially with regards to proficiencies and conversation. For role play reasons I don't want my barbarian failing a religion check whilst my cleric twiddles their thumbs in the background because they were unlucky enough to not trigger the automatic cutscene.
