Rolling for Stats makes sense its part of dnd and its part of bg1 and 2, bg 3 should have it too bg1 and 2 are multiplayer too and didnt suffer from the game feeling unfair. Why should people have to cheat to enjoy a big part of dnd
The part that was very heavily abused in BG1 and 2. Why did it exist? Unfortunately devs just didn't realized players would abuse it heavily. And unlike in actual D&D - there is no DM to say: "Yeah, sorry, you chose yourself to roll, so take those shitty first roll stats". There are no reroll in actual D&D. In CRPG - nothing would stop players abuse hell out of such mechanics. Plus, rolling for stats is OPTIONAL mechanics in 5th edition. Optional = any DM in full rights forbid it entirely. Although hardly even that needed. Taking risk of having character with very shitty rolled stats, and that no one will allow you to reroll those shitty stats - vast majority of players prefer .
So you believe larian cant code the roll to only be pressed one time? If the reason its not added is for your above reasons "balance" they will just limit the amount of rolls and still add it?
And if your roll is mega shit just switch back to point buy
When i dm all my guys roll for stats but i let them re roll the 1s ends for well rounded satisfying stats mostly
Larian could easily add a protection in to avoid mega shit rolls
