And how many enemies did you face in the Original who were packing arrows of detonation?
None that I can recall, which is only slightly less than the number of enemies that have fired any magical arrows at me almost 30 hours into BG3. I have found plenty of magical arrows, but I’m not dealing with some overwhelming abundance of goblins raining down magical arrows at me. And I literally just last night went back to the goblin camp and completely cleared the front gate.
The point stands that saying “The casual audience that plays D:OS2 can keep them” is ridiculous. BG 1 and 2 were packed with magic arrows. That isn’t just a DOS / BG3 “casual” thing. Magical arrows might have often been individually weaker (though arrows of detonation and dispelling were a thing), but they came in stacks to match the real time nature of combat.
