To add to the discussion, I really hate the only way to play Baldur's Gate 3 Efficiently is to do big damage as soon as you can, killing enemies before they can take a turn.

Fight -> Long Rest -> Fight is how the game can easily be played with how easy it is to buy/steal/find food.

Control spells are garbage, while items make something simple as Scorching Ray into weapon of mass destruction due to multiple procs of damage types.

Even something as iconic and useful as Polymorph was nerfed to the ground. You can't turn your allies into Giant Apes or T-Rexes, you can turn one enemy into a sheep for 5 turns, if they fail a saving throw and it is still a concentration.

Larian really should have listened to early feedback, especially with regards to things like a bonus action shove...
