Yep makes sense. I mean it's clear people hate deep systems when something like Baldur's Gate 3 becomes the undisputed Game of the Year /s

I don't disagree with your main point, but D&D 5e is a rather shallow rules system. It's needlessly complicated (15 strength gives you what bonus? How does readying an action work? Can you smite when unarmed?), but it's not really deep.

I agree. I played Pathfinder WotR right before BG3 and I was very confused by the lack of class options. It's pretty simple straight forward stuff.

JRPGs (which came from DnD) can be a lot deeper than BG3.
