The most important thing is a fun and balanced single-player game based on 5E, not necessarily sticking to it for better or worse, but adapting it where needed to make a more engaging experience for everyone.


But the halfway approach is what they have done now. And people dislike it. And believe me, Witcher fans would go ballistic if you turned the next Witcher into a DoS style game too. Which is understandable. When you slap a franchise name on something, people will expect certain things. Neither do I think it is smart to cater to the lowest common denominator. That is what ruined the Dragon Age series past Origins.
