I also feel like people highly overrate feats and ASI compared to multiclassing and getting abilities from a second or third class. Besides that class abilities are often far more interesting to use than feats.
Or perhaps they are people like me who prefers to play as a class rather than cherry-pick to min-max some sort of mongrel.
I'm with you there. Multiclassing never feels good thematically or RP-wise unless you completely reflavor the entire mongrel and is usually only favored by powergamers. Most of the popular multiclasses commonly taken are also just that... cheese sandwiches with an extra side of cheese, lol.
BG3's EA was already easy and because of the way power curves work in open ended games they only get easier over time, with the start generally being the hardest part of the game outside of little random spikes, so a nonoptimal group might be much more fun anyway.
We'll see how hardcore mode turns out but yeah definitely not gonna bother multiclassing since I doubt Larian did much balancing around the many strong combos through it and just shrugged.
