Larian's other games used a different rule system, which would make unlimited summons unbalanced. You cannot use those different-rule-using games as evidence that necromancy is going to be bad in this game because they use different rule systems.
Is not only because dos2 necromancer is a awful necromancer. And single summon is only one of the aspects that makes necro on dos2 a chore. The single summon + cooldowns + 13m range + armor system + itemization... Idon't feel myself immersed while i (tried) to play dos2.
The reasons that i an concerned is >
1 - Necromancers and warlocks are the most nerfed "stuff" on D&D adaptations since the NWN1(2002). Pale masters get no +caster level, is limited to only one summon, necromancer specialized wizard lose Stop Time due opposite school. And warlocks on nwn2, is extremely nerfed. The game threats a necro as a half caster to bypass SR, chilling tentacles has a fix + 5 AB meaning that anyone with a decent armor is near immune to the tentacles(on P&P it uses your caster level + 8 as attack bonus). Dark Invocations like World of Changing that can permanently transform enemies into a 1 HD chicken/toad, on nwn2 only transform yourself into a useless demon. His EB at lv 20 will deal on average 31.5 damage. A warrior with lv 10 can dish far more damage with 2 attacks per round on average.
2 - Larian din't answered if they will limit to only one summon on AMA and i was not the unique guy who asked it.
If they have answered something like "multiple summons is the unique good thing from 5e, since 5e no longer has OHK spells. We can't take it away from necromancer fans" nobody would be fearing a necro butchering.
-------------------------
Anyway, i an not not that fearful about warlock.
A lot of DMs din't allowed 3.5e warlocks and now, seems that DM's are encouraging to play as a Warlock over a Wizard.A meme comparing two warlocks

The reason that i wanna Lurker warlock that much is because the point of being a warlock is to throw tentacles on succubus. There are no other reason to be a warlock (just kidding)
