I hate idea "The One D&D project" that race does not give ability.
Of Dnd pen and paper I have played example DND 3.5 and DND 5.0 and currently I play once/week DND 5.0 and we do not have any crap system races can not affect ability. which is very optional system in DND 5.0. I am very pleased Larian does have so you can not change ability scores for races in BG3. Thank you Larian.
