So, then where's the problem? There is no law/treaty which dictates the game to be DnD 5e PnP with a party of 6. It's a video game with a party of 4 based on the DnD world and implementing (after what I've read from others, as I'm no DnD player) only about 80 to 90 % DnD 5e rules, not everything. They have to rebalance the monsters, and they have done it mostly in an entertaining way, for my taste. smile
80~90% of the rules? I wish, it would be called Solasta if that was the case. More like <50%, including changing or not implementing core mechanics and class features. Also the monsters they should implement are balanced around said core mechanics and features.
