As I have written before I also did not like the loot system of D:OS : totally random items and highly level dependent with inflating stats.
I guess its a relic from the fact that Divine Divinity (Larians first game) was a Diable clone in terms of combat mechanic, though story, writing and environment of DD are much better than D.
I think it is good that they move to DnD.
I am not a huge DnD fan, but any system that avoids totally random items and inflating numbers is a progress and DnD is one of the better options.
At least DnD has consistent rules how to generate loot.
