Taking how awful multiclassing in 5e - should be a very low priority for Larian.
Not to be challenging, just curious what makes Multiclassing so bad in 5e specifically?
Generally how restricting it is. You would get all low level things of new class, but would be extremely restricted on whole synergy. Especially since there are no prestige classes in 5e.
It's significantly worse even than 3.5e. And it's night and day compare to pathfinder, especially 2e. Which have very rewarding and yet very well balanced "multiclassing".
Here is entire rules for multiclassing in 5e:

Generally you simply restricting yourself on gaining higher level spells and/or abilities of your original class. Which are significantly more powerful than anything of lower level. No abilities synergy would compensate that. In many cases something might sound cool. But as you hard test it - you would quickly get it's cool only in theory, but crap on practice. Solo-classed party member always outbest any multiclassed character in 5e.
Personally I didn't love 2nd Edition's multiclassing. And I found Pathfinder to be a swamp in terms of possibilities. I actually MUCH prefer the more basic system for Multiclassing in 5e by a mile to either (and I started playing D&D P&P with 2e way back in the 90s, so I'm pretty intimate with it in particular).
I don't find the Multiclass system of 5e to be "restrictive", I find it to be pretty straightforward and easy to plan for.
But more to the point, since this is a video game, and not a session, the main character needs to either adopt some elements of being a Face or leave it to the NPC's (which feels awkward to me in terms of story telling).
Multiclassing would give most of the races a lot more potential to shine (as again, right now Wood Elf, followed by Half-Wood Elf are essentially the two best choices for most classes ATM by default).
I feel strongly that this would even that out a fair bit, without much hassle. Also the Prerequisites for Multiclassing aren't that crazy to meet (we're not rolling for stats, we're using Point Buy).
