Oh, I agree on all those points. The rules are definitely easier to understand, especially compared to Pathfinder. And I do like that you are more free in how to resolve a conflict.

The thing I meant was that for me, personally, interacting with the world is daunting. Having a 3rd person view of a fully 3d world filled with tons of items to interact with and with different elevations makes it hard for me to make a mental map of the game world. It's not such a big deal for Deus Ex (where it's in 1st person and you can get really up close to things) or with Zelda (where the amount of stuff to interact with is a lot more sparse). In BG3 I just constantly feel like I'm lost and missing out on things that might have been hidden from view because I looked at it from the wrong angle.
It's just me. I miss the overview of the flatter maps in those other games. It allows me to focus more on the story and the exploration funny enough.

Again, I agree with everything else. I still love the game and the design, I just realize what I'm missing from my other favorite games.

I feel you on that front. I have a Steam Deck and use it over my PC 90% of the time and even have BG3 running well on it but I prefer to sit at my desk for this game because the clutter is so dense that I need that big monitor and mouse to pixel hunt for all the little items and clicky things hidden around the world... and being able to spin that camera quickly around with a mouse while traversing is super important to catching things
