BG3 players: How much does enjoying the game hinge on your party being Very Good at combat?
I ask because, despite playing hundreds of hours of (and really enjoying) games like neverwinter nights, pillars of eternity, shadowrun, I also noped out of games like pathfinder: kingmaker and divinity: original sin 2 because all the mandatory combats just became a slog, especially since I tend to choose / upgrade my party members for roleplaying / story interestingness and not just minmaxing combat effectiveness. This feels especially relevant given that Larian is the developer for BG3.
