Larian said they can't implement, this is not true. Which means they can, but don't want to.


Larian may not be able to because it could mean substantial rework of their engine. They are probably "just bending" their DOS mechanics so much around that it might break like an overdrawn bow ..
Well, now that you've mentioned, I realized that Larian is building BG3 on a modified DOS engine, and they don't use Unity like most RPGs.
Damn, might it be that their engine cannot adapt 5e rules? As simple as they are?
