I'm not sure you've got any evidence stock for "as a lot of people dislike 5e" being valid to any appreciable degree. The majority of threads and feedback on this forum over the past year have been in the direction of wanting a more faithful rendition or less of larian's 5e-divergant homebrew.
To be honest, your idea for a project sounds like an ambitious amount of work in order to make the game more flat and boring; good luck with it, but I doubt you'll find traction.
DnD5 seems more popular because it is the one that brought in a lot of newer players from the younger generation, that in itself does not make it better, many youth are just to lazy to work out how the old version works. Some of the best rpgs have always used the 3.0 version because the OGL [open game license] provides so much more to work with then 5.0. Modders could do a lot more with BG3 if they use the 3.0 set up. Yes there is the legal question- is modding a 5.0 edition to be a 3.0 legal? My understanding is that because it is licensed by Larian Games, you would not be able to make the mods paid, otherwise you can mod it?
That is why i am asking here. @Larian are we allowed to mod the game to 3.0? Is it feasible? Since the game is still in early access, this could be useful for modders going forward.... i am myself not a modder, but i plan to learn to make mods. Thanks
