In one turn I had a goblin disengage from a fight (his action), step around his dead friend who was on fire and run 30 feet (his movement) and then open a door (his bonus action)
player thinks it was too much for one turn. Thoughts ?
I think it probably sounds fine, but there are a few technicalities. "step around" his friend might mean entering its space, which would be difficult terrain. Opening a door isn't a bonus action (unless some ability says so), but could be a free object interaction that you can do as part of your turn.
I would say as long as the door wasn't locked, opening it would be a free object interaction. If the goblin had to pull out a key and unlock the door, that's a different story.
A goblin can disengage as a bonus action (Nimble Escape ability), move, interact with the environment (so long as the door isn't stuck or locked), and stll have an action to Dash another 30 feet or take a shot with their shortbow. I'm not finding a discrepancy in your ruling.

That would be at most 5' of difficult terrain and a creature's space is the space it is literally in, not the space around it.
I didn't say otherwise, but if you move through 1 square of difficult terrain, then you can only make 25', rather than 30' with a 30' speed, affecting the outcome here. Although if he were dead (rather than just unconscious), it probably wouldn't be difficult terrain anyway. Thanks though.
If "step around" is using some movement followed by another 30ft of movement if if the goblin is travelling 30ft but some (even 5ft) is difficult terrain the goblin would need to take the dash action as it is moving move than 30 ft in total (but with nimble escape can still do everything the OP said)

I was thinking the same thing. If anything, the Goblin didn't do ENOUGH actions on their turn.
Player is arguing with me :)

I meant to say free object interaction ... thank you!
