Larian knows Baldur's Gate 3's D&D combat is super complicated: "We used to joke you basically need a tutorial for every class" (www.gamesradar.com)

I broke my own haste concentration at least twice a play session and I've been DMing 5e for 6 years at this point. Would have saved me a few wipes on tactician

You have to concentrate on haste now? Back in 3.0-3.5 you cast it and it just worked. Still didn't allow you to cast two spells, so it seemed pretty useless to most of my characters. Throw it on the dual-vorpal-katana-wielding fighter, and watch her just abuse TF out of Great Cleave.

Yep, most buffs require concentration now. There are a couple exceptions but they're mostly the weaker buffs like longstrider. In tabletop 5e haste also doesn't let you cast two spells, , it's either an extra dash, disengage, hide, or a single weapon attack (no multiattack). Much much stronger in BG3.
