Then they should have just created their own fantasy RPG.
If they are going to take the D&D IP, make it a D&D game.
I totally concur but we’re beyond that now and just have to accept Larian’s idiosyncratic take on BG or simply don’t play it.
It’s clear to me that for every reversion to a more D&D implementation they also add in some other homebrew interpretation elsewhere, like they can’t help themselves. I feel there’s some serious fingers-in-the-ears cognitive dissonance going on, the way that communication is simply a series of infrequent announcements and some of the more heavily critiqued or requested aspects are seemingly ignored. The fact that it is primarily designed around co-op play is beyond me, given the knock on effect that is having and the majority will be single players.
