or you can choose the default "barbarian" and it gives everything that i said above..

what i'm saying is d&d-based , d&d 6.0 maybe. you have to think outside the box.

on paper.. i'm invincible and immortal - and stats mean nothing. that's the reality of it. i want the game that i play to reflect that.

What your suggesting is, in principle, not a bad idea. There's something there that could work as a game. But as you said, it would effectively be D&D 6.0, something very different from what we have now. And I don't think it's practical for Larian to try and make that work in the game at this stage. And furthermore even if it were practical, that's not the game they're making in the first place. The point of D&D 5e is to have that class-based system where you rely on other characters in your party to get through encounters. Baldur's Gate 3 is a party-based game. It's certainly going to be possible to solo the game without your party through min-maxing and skill, but the game isn't built around that.

You also keep saying that the class system nerfs the player, but it really doesn't. It's the baseline way the game works. Having classes is no more a nerf than it is nerfing for runners in a footrace to have to follow the assigned track rather than cutting across the field to the finish line. I think that D&D 5e just isn't for you, and the same probably goes for BG3. It's a game made to appeal to those who like party based, class-based roleplaying games. Just like Fallout and Skyrim are made to appeal to those who like single-player, classless roleplaying games. They're different styles of games with different strengths and weaknesses.
