At least for EA, it felt like taking feats was almost always less desirable than an ASI. In 5E, it rarely makes sense to give up an ASI, until you have maxed out your primary stat. BG3 doesn’t seem markedly different from 5E, in this respect.
In EA, there were only a few options for maxing an ability score with just one ASI (e.g., Volo’s Ersatz Eye).
I am not a fan of how 5E makes feats alternatives to ASI. Hopefully Larian or the mod community makes it possible to get a feat at level 1.
