I'm very aware of all of that. I still don't like the heavy RNG lol. I want to save scum less, that's what I'm expecting. Even if it's 5e combat. I'm just not a fan of DnD combat, but I still love everything else about bg3.

In combat, I used to hate the fact that I miss very frequently but I realized enemies miss as much as I do. It changed my perspective - I strategize my game plan assuming I would miss rather than assuming I would hit. It improved my game a lot since.

It helps a lot when you start using abilities that gives you advantage, or that deal half damage even when they are saved against.

Of course, it's still a matter of preference. It's just how the game is, I guess.
