I read soo many forum posts that have players complaining about " Why isn't this spell in the game? or why isn't this domain in the game?, etc... " The player base seems to have forgotten that this is Early Access and there for nothing is complete. There are still more content, spells, classes, races, equipment, tweaks, etc.. still to be added. When all these things get added, fleshed out it will also quite possibly could fix a lot of balancing issues.... or it may not. We as players need to constantly remind ourselves that this is merely early access, not even alpha or beta. The tone of many of the thread posts speak as if this game were complete and polished.
First, thanks for replying to my thread. These conversations are what will propel BG3 forward into the best game it can be.
For Clarity, There is only one of the 10 points discusses adding any new spells or powers but more to your point. The game is in early access though Larian has clearly stated the DM, PHB, and MM would be nearly 100% included into BG3. The problem is Booming Blade and Green Flame Blade exist in other books. If we consider small parts of other books extremely important for the games balance and diversity, we should point them out. The inclusion of two additional cantrips isn't as complex as a whole class or subclass. But both these spells are extremely important for many different melee hybrid builds.
Furthermore Larian wants our feedback over what is in the game and what is not. Its Larian's whole design philosophy surrounding Early Access. They get huge data from players early enough for important changes in design and direction. There will only ever be Early Access as the game will near seamlessly enter into the full game on release. This is how Larian handled DOS2.
