There are many mechanics that were established by BG and is standard for CRPGs that Larian chose to not implement.
Like what? I genuinely can't think of any, besides real time combat. Again i never finished BG2, it felt too clunky to play when i tried and i dropped it.
And yes, BG2 does many things better than BG3 at the moment even being 20 years old. And that is the alarming factor.
Again, like what? Give me an example.
