I mean, that is what I like. I do the same thing in Fromsoft games but they don't have the payout (furtive pygmy, gloam eyed queen, eleonara, etc). BG3 actually pays out looking for obscure shit like that.

But I also mean you can do things like throw your buddy across a gap to reach something instead of being required to levitate or find another way around. Or if you have the time and opportunity to place explosives around a boss guy you can converse with before fighting, you can just blow them up the instant combat starts.

Basically the logic in the game is actually logical and doesn't constsntly present you with arbitrary walls preventing things you, the player, might assume you should be able to do with the info/mechanics given.

That's just one example. There are multiple ways to approach scenarios, or skip them entirely, that so dynamically effect the story. There are several times you discover a "base" for a group and they can be an ally, an enemy, or an ally you betray. To see all the options and paths there can take 5-10 playthroughs alone. And that's not counting how you go about it, who you kill or spare, whether you pass with raw persuasion, or steal something hidden that gives you a free pass. And again, that's just one more difference that can happen in a playthrough out of many.

They clearly put a lot of effort into "the way to play is the way you play" and it shows"

Nah, I'm fully aware most people don't know about Gerson, who exists only if you're standing in the druid grove when the goblin leaders are dealt with, just so the scene can transition without you noticing.

But someone asked for possible variations, and I provided. And what better way to show the variation the game has to offer than to show the extreme examples of it? Note that I also pointed out the eight origins, which are so surface level that it's the first choice you make in the game.
