That's great. How many of them are here?
Less than 100 ... more like around 12,
Can we not make claims about the # of people who would like X? After using outside numbers (e.g., # of D&D players worldwide; this is where we are now), the argument will move on to using actual counts of forum members who have posted about X. But then the response to such a forum poster count will be "but the forum isn't representative of all BG3 players" and absolutely nothing is solved.
OH we certainly can ...
Can we also aim our complainment to person who started with it ... instead of complaining about someone who react on reaction for that post?
I mean i know what you want to say ... probably ...
But just as you dont apprecitate this kind of post, i dont appreciate that only my name (the last one on the chain) was litteraly mentioned there and everyone else was coveniently ignored. O_o
But don't use "others agree with me" as your argument.
I didnt ... as you can see in that quote you posted, i was only expressing my estimated guess about their numbers, nothing else.
Rag, you personally don't think that Larian implementing 5e RAW won't be worth the effort. That's fine. The OP thinks otherwise. That's also fine. If you have an argument about why you do/don't think a mechanic is worth it, that's fine to post.
Yup ... that is why i did it.
And yes i do have argument, but i allready posted it here multiple times i didnt seen much point in repeating it ... but since you asked. :P
The problem here is that game would need to be litteraly redone from scratch ...
And im only talking about stats and scores ... if we also include lore, then we are completely screwed.
Take Halsin for example
(problem with lore is that he would need to be around level 20 ... wich kinda means able to wipe out litteraly everyone of whole Act 1 at once in single turn.
)
But just stats and scores ...
First you need to adjust all his scores acording to player statistic, since he have curently 16, 16, 16, 12, 18, 16 ... that would probably not work well for "raw" ...
Then you would need to implement HP calculation for him, bcs no matter how much you would wish that ... you would NEVER EVER get him to 94 HP on his curent level ... so his (and probably other NPC aswell) HP was probably simply "set" instead of calculated
And even tho it dont seem like much with single character, note that every single character you have in game would probably need to be done manualy. :-/
Even tho now when i said it ... i can imagine some easy script that would be able to emulate aproximately acceptable stats for certain NPC types ... question is if that is the way NPC are done. :-/
Creatures are worse tho.
There you would need to set them one by one ... i mean sure, you set stats for single Phase Spider and all of them is done, obviously ... but still ...
Next question that would be needed to answer is what about enemies that are not part of 5e rules ...
Like Spider Matriarch ... as far as i know, there is no creature like that (feel free to corect me) ...
So ... in order to have actual "raw 5e experience" she, and her whole encounter would have to be recreated. :-/
And final (even tho probably smallest) problem would be changing enemies to those that will be fitting ...
I mean if you would create Imps exactly as they are in PHB ... you would probably need to replace them with something easier to kill, after all you can easily be just single lvl 1 ... and Avernus(?) is suppose to be tutorial, not deathtrap. :-/
In shorten version ...
It would push development back by at least another year, maybe even more. :-/
