(Heya Kanisatha, I'm lurking and commenting on occasion ^.^ To be fair, Maximuus, I'm pretty sure the lootable vases and grass count comments were intended as deliberately sarcastic by Dex... internet text conveyance and all that.)
Oh... I've never been very good at understanding sarcasm on forums... Especially in English. (I kind of was with Rag, thanks to smiles!)
Doesn't matter as it does not change the message. On top of that inventory management and user interface are other points in which BG1/2 were "objectively" better than BG3. Same about party control, interractions between characters,... It is easy to give objective data to make a subjective message looks like if it is an objective one... but objectivity would first require us all to agree on what is most important for a role-playing game to be good, on what a good interface is, a good control system, and so on...
