Yes except exploring in BG1 meant running either into small groups of enemies that die within few seconds and you can keep exploring (read they don't waste your time) or you run into special encounters like Basilisk, Dryads or adventuring parties that often talk to you before attacking (and some of them you can avoid fighting).He's completely and utterly wrong about BG not having a ton of trashmobs and mostly trivial wilderness areas. PoE is nearly identical in that way - at least from memory.
That said, he does seem to focus on BG2 more - and maybe he sometimes forgets that BG means BG1.
Exploring in PoE (if you can call it that when maps are maybe half size those in BG1 and there are much less of them) means fighting c/p encounter every new screen space away and all of them being easy pointless trash fight that is not over in few seconds and wastes too much of your time. And you run into special encounters almost never in the wilderness.
