That way Larian doesnt need to go back and rebalance the whole game for 5-6 players.
There no balance right now, even difficulty options not implemented yet. So i don't understand such arguments, this work(balancing) they will still have to do in the future and it is better to do it with an eye on 5-6 ppl party(as the desire of the majority). The sooner they change it, the better.
