I find it fascinating that those who support Larian's implementation to at least a moderate or majority percent all seem to actively define anyone who doesn't as being a 5e purist who wants an exact or literal interpretation of the as-written rules, when there is, as far as I'm aware, quite literally not a single person on this entire forum who has ever asked for that or ever indicated that they want that in any way... and yet, no matter how many times other people point this out to them, they never acknowledge it, never accept it, and always run right back to that exact same rhetoric every time it come sup. Why? I'm really quite genuinely curious as to how a person's mind must work and what their thinking must be to continue to do that... can one of you who frequently paints others as wanting 5e pure rules or as hoping for them, please explain this to me?
It's really no different than folks on the other side of the argument who claim that BG3 isn't a D&D game, or call BG3 DOS 3, or call Larian's implementation lazy. None of those things are true but they get repeated quite often, even in this thread.
Quite often the reason given for not liking a particular feature is that it's not D&D without any accompanying reasoning on why it's worse than the current 5e implementation.
