Booming Blade, Green-Flame Blade and Lightning Lure ?
Without those cantrips Eldritch Knights feel underwhelming. It would be really nice to have them in BG3.

Currently, when it comes to features, EK has pretty much just the Shield as a reaction (and maybe Exp. Retreat to be used as a bonus action "Dash"). It's just much worse than 1 Wizard + 11 Battle Master, I hope they will come up with something to make EK more viable

EK is my favorite tabletop class. :D

Seems they only licensed the base 5e materials - so all the extras from Xanatar, Tasha, etc will have to come from mods and mods most likely wont take off untill we get proper workshop support.

(yes you can install mods already, via dubious 3rd party programs etc that aren't supported on all platforms the steam game supports - mass adoption wont happen til it's "built-in" via the workshop )

It's not just PHB stuff. Like, they've got playable Githyanki, as well as Zariel and Mephistopheles tieflings. Swords bards are from XGtE, spores druids are from TCoE...

None of them are PhB, game is based on PhB they don't have license for other ♥♥♥♥.

I think much of what they included outside of the PHB were specifically granted in the license they asked for. I do not think they have license to use all the source books. All of this story is post Avernus campaign, so, it makes sense they could use what the campaign used in the license.

SCAG originally, but reprinted and errata'd in TCoE.

In particular, they ensured that the range was Self (5' radius) so you can't Twin Spell them; and that they require an actual melee weapon worth at least 1 sp as a material component; so you can't annoy your DM by casting them with, say, an arcane focus crystal ball in one hand and a beer stein in the other.
