How about the fact that Larian keep using DnD 5e as a marketing tool?
Why wouldnt they? I mean this game IS based on DnD 5e ... its not their fault that some people wished for something else. :-/

Indeed ... and also not "litteral transcription" ... what is your point? We could find dozens of synonims they didnt use.

And since their game is based on DnD 5e its perfectly fine ... again, what is your point here? O_o

It indeed is no coincidence, but i would say you presume too much.

Question here is: Does it matter?
I mean Swen obivously leads this project ... if it would be movie, Swen would be director ... his job is to mediate(?) his vision for us ... and purpose of EA is to find out how much that vision is close to our expectations, possibly even bend it a little somewhere, so our goals get closer together ...
But he still sells his vision, his product, there is his name on it. :-/ And in the end he (probably not litteraly, i presume he have people for that) will decide wich of our suggestion goes good with his vision, and wich are completely off.
I still dont understand why cant we change Race for our hirelings. Lets us play Githyanki as racist as they trully are!
