Yeah, I'd say even those few additional options given to the player make 3.5 (and Pathfinder) superior videogame adaptations in the long run. Moment to moment gameplay between the two doesn't feel different enough to make me outright dislike 5E in its videogame form though, despite it being the inferior option.

Ultimately I think both play well enough, but creating a roleplaying system tailor made for a videogame experience generally seems like the best option when it comes to CRPGs, despite how much enjoyment I've gotten from tabletop adaptations through the years.

After playing this for a bit more, I can't shake the feeling this (and 5E in general) is baby's first RPG.

Really took you this long huh. :hmmm:

A single glance at it and I could tell it was made for Role Players and moving as far away as they could from gross icky Roll Players whom they want nothing to do with anymore. Pathfinder doesn't really want them either.
