Exactly: I want the core to be implemented and then DL a ranger mod if wanted. I don't want to have to DL a 5e mod because the 5e BG3 porting is drastically altered by non 5e querries. And adding another feat IS a drastic change. I am not saying it is bad and I might even play it if modded. I am merely pointing to the fact having first a stable and efficient 5e porting is what matters.
Agreed, the base game should stick with 5e rules as much as possible. Stuff like more feats or ASIs should be left to mods, since those will drastically change the balance and core mechanics of 5e.
Regarding the ranger stuff... I'd have prefered it if they at least had kept the favored enemy feature as per PHB. The changes to favored terrain are good, though.
