The only real similarity to nuXCOM is the initiative system/ team turns.
Other than that you can theoretically do the following with a character during a turn: run-do an action-run-do a bonus action-run a bit more
This is absolutely not comparable to the 2AP system where you can only run-do something.
It's absolutely comparable by being confined to artificially convoluted non-uniform and more restrictive action system, while far simpler and elastic systems were being implemented for years now.
There are no TUs or APs in AD&D and there have never been. You can say you don't like DnD, that's fine. But I think that you are just not willing to admit that you exaggerated and you are defending something that makes no sense
Stop strawmanning. DnD is P&P, and should you actually care to read what I wrote, (most) P&P systems prioritize being fluent in gameplay and that's OK, because GM's reasoning will (and should) always outrule any system when situation calls for it. We are talking cRPG which lack that, but have lots of computing power. I don't care about retards trying to say I don't like D&D in general because they lack actual arguments, but you seemed to be reasonable.
If you're not interested in a crpg based on a tabletop rpg because of the inherent limitations of a game system designed to be manageable without a computer, why do you even care about BG3? It is clearly not the game for you.

Because there is a % of people that think to be D&D fans and they think the games should be made for them(while at the same time declaring they don’t buy their product), instead wotc is focussing on the actual fans of D&D and attract new people in the hobby.

I kinda didn't like the opening cinematic. It betrays a lack of subtlety and ability to hold themselves back.
Me, I never thought a battle between dragons and a mindflayer ship could look so boring. I think it's the music, where it should be epic and make me want to play it just puts me to sleep.

Sometimes it just seems like you people are just looking for a reason to be angry. Like you start at hate then find reasons to justify it instead of being like a rational person and hating it because of the reasons. A dragon battle made you fall asleep? Really? That trailer opening literally took a dedicated team 7 months to make. I think a team of professionals know what makes an opening a little better than you people do.

Where everything is fantastic nothing is. The problem with modern "fantasy".

Yes, pretending 5e implementation and TB are enough to guarantee a good game is like going to buy a car and only caring about the motor while the rest of the car is made of rusty iron, aluminum wires and duct tape. Theoretically, it could still work but at some point you start questioning if dealing with all that bullshit to enjoy the good parts is really worthy of your time.
Any car with a motor beats one with Flinstones style propulsion.

I think a team of professionals know what makes an opening a little better than you people do.

The intro should've stopped after the last tadpole was inserted.
What happened after is the correspondent of "purple prose" in visual form. It's exorbitant shit that is congruent with the philosophy ,
.

That kind of action packed scenes are best used during the climax of the game, where the player is emotionally invested, knows the background, knows at what the fuck he's looking at etc.

But you are right. The professionals know what the unwashed uncultured masses want - quick gratification via bombastic visuals galore.
They want the hot chick to slurply suck their dick on the first date, even before the first meal course.


Below we have another team of professionals that know what would make Larian a little better on the revenue front.

So i guess that Jump does exist in D&D 5e but you need to plan your character to have it.

It's not a bar, it's one of those immovable rods

Retarded animu shit. There's no such thing as jumping to avoid an attack unless it's a cartoon. Tumbling was already far fetched enough as it is.

I will ask if they will limit the summons to only one or if necromancy will be great like BG1/BG2 and PF:KM...
