I'm also curious, what exact thing did Wizards of the Coast even do at this point? Lore? They definitely didnt ensure that Larian stuck to the 5e ruleset.


That's some hot take there.

Overall this is definitely 5e D&D, sure it has tweaks, but show me a D&D video game that does not, heck show me a tabletop game that does not.



I've played dozens of games that adapt DnD and even the hack and slash action games are closer adaptations than this. So far this game is just the DnD character stats and skill checks partially overlaid onto the D:OS2 engine. Outside of basic to-hit calculations and in-dialogue skill checks nothing uses a D20 to resolve - including terrain effects, trip chances, and most other instances where a save would take place. DnD almost never lets you do damage without rolling (outside of a tiny handful of limited-use abilities) but the party I used to play through the EA content almost never rolled to do damage because it was so easy to just not.
