Fact 1: This game can be completed currently with only the PC. No Companions. 1 Character. Fact 2: This game allows for 3 companions. 4 Characters.
You want to tell me that +1 is game breaking? That you NEED it?
Zero argument. No chance. You want it, for minmax optimization, nothing more.
Except multiple people have been arguing for why it is good for Roleplay. People don't need floating ASI to minmax at all, the minmax options exist completely without it and thats why you see people do the same race class combos. Many races are overlooked for character type because many players feel like they are missing out to their peers who picked the ideal Race Class combo. And we are not arguing for BG3 to be made easier or to make the most OP characters? And this was all a tangent, the initial topic was if we wanted things from the two books XGtE and TC, and we started to focus on one specific optional rule in Tasha's. BG3 is a videogame so it doesn't exactly have the same complications as a table and the game as it is right now can be beat without resting and by abusing non dnd mechanics. Min maxers wouldn't and don't care about ASIs with how much the system is exploitable right now to the point where a PC with -1 in everything could still come out on top cause barrels and lucky pushing. But still having floating ASIs would only be a quality of life improvement for us. YES minmaxers can and will use it, but they never had to cause the best races still existed for them! But Tasha's frees that up so people do not feel penalized for playing something non ideal. Now I can actually in tabletop play that orc wizard who is just as smart as a gnome wizard because he spent his life studying, or I could play a drow cleric that is just as wise and physically strong as a human cleric. I can play the characters I want to play without mechanics and roleplaying having dissonance. In BG3 this would just translate to people being able to have 16-17 on any race but thats fine even if they are minmaxing because it is a singleplayer/co-op game, and for the rest of us it just means we can have fun with our normally completely suboptimal concepts like a Dwarf Rogue or Orc/Half-Orc (when that drops) Wizard or Githyanki GOO Warlock which I would play purely because I want to play and roleplay that concept. Right now nothing actually stops me from playing these characters except Orc Wizard (which for in tabletop I stated my reasons well above cause I tried!) and so I play not optimal characters, heck on optimal characters I never get a 17 which would be the min max value, but with tasha's I can make my suboptimal choice and still contribute just as much as my fellow players AND have a complete match in mechanics and roleplay.
