Just curious, what was the let down(s) for you? I feel like they were pretty transparent about what the game was gonna be through the whole dev cycle

I simply do not like how Larian handles combat encounters or their reliance on environmental damage/restrictions that are always against the player.

That's fair, unless you do some wacky stuff they do rely a lot on forcing environmental interactions, if you don't want fights to drag.
