Pathfinder Kingmaker has tons of settings you can tinker with to get the game to play the way you want. I'm sure Larian could do similar and tweak balance as time goes... or i guess just let modders do it all smirk
Yeah, this is probably the best solution. Personally, I'll be annoyed if a D&D game supposedly based on 5e stays so distantly removed from D&D 5e, but I understand there are others with a range of differing preferences.
