I completely understand the frustration. Bg3 is neither hardcore D&D RPG nor hardcore action RPG nor hardcore strategic RPG.
I believe the DOS2 system is just so much fast and fun. Its a great mix of actionRPG/Strategy. It has balance issues, items issues etc..but its an addicting FAST system.
The problem with BG3 is that...Larian is trying to please everyone. I think since they went the D&D route, they should of done it 100% pure D&D.
They took this weird, approach on making the game 80% d&D and mixed in DOS2 easy of use, quality of life, beginner friendly approach...but to THESE PEOPLE the game is STILL hardcore difficult and weird. While for D&D people the game is LACKING difficulty and strategy.
How do you fix all of this? MORE CUSTOMIZABLE OPTIONS. Make the game 100% strategic D&D and scale it/dumb it down with tons of quality of life options for casual gamers.
-Want your spells reset after combat? Fine make it an option.
-What to hide just your minimap? Make it an option.
-Want original D&D creature stats and abilities? >option.
-Want base 75% success on die rolls?> option.
Larian Gameplay options are the most lacking aspect of all their RPGs. And since this IS "D&D" , its even more jarring.
