Wow. My people!

My wife and I loved DOS 1+2 and were eagerly anticipating BG3. Imagine our horror when we hit the first battle... We seriously thought it was a bug.

The split screen battle interface fundamentally breaks the experience for us. What used to be a fun, collaborative, very social way to spend an evening together is now a frustrating activity with much less teamwork. We might as well be playing the game separately.

Losing half the screen real estate is also a major bummer. We never had to zoom in and out in DOS 1+2, but we have to do that in BG3 in order to just see what's happening.

I get that they're trying to push this quasi-real-time two-go-at-once mechanic but we don't care. We don't want to go at once. Our very best moments in DOS were when we disagreed on the next action and would sit and debate what to do next. We were really hoping BG3 would deliver more of that. We'll just have to play DOS 1+2 again!!
