To be honest, Auntie Ethel is a product of Larian's writing style. Why is there an evil swamp hag in the first bits of the game? Because it's a fantasy cliché. It isn't there because it makes sense for the story or because it's realistic for that location, it's there because Larian are the masters of stereotypes and tropes. "Let's have a devious swamp witch here because why not!" It's just part of their cartoonish design.
So what you are saying is: it’s just like a Dungeons & Dragons campaign.
It's like a shitty DnD campaign concocted by a first-time DM who just wanted to cram as much superficial "epicness" into the game as possible from the first moment.
Tell me, which other monsters from the Monster Manuals must we absolutely not include in our campaigns in order to not be shitty DMs? Please, I need to know. I don't want to noob it up.
Obviously, Clawfoot will be unhappy with everything in the game, no matter how much it conforms to the D&D rules.
Seriously, his arguments consist of whining about how talentless Larian is and how bad the game is. No ideas or suggestions on how to fix this.
