Bet soon it'll be time to start making my own game and play that instead, it seems, hahaha.
While I don't really have strong for or against feelings on the topic of racial ASIs at least the game still abides by legit D&D rules. In this case this change is from Tasha's Cauldron of Everything, so it's not like Larian is taking it upon themselves to change core rules of D&D, those changes(or at least alternatives) were introduced officially by D&D first. But I don't think you have to worry about removal of class stat requirements ever actually happening in either game or D&D. Although the stat requirements are mostly there to protect players from themselves because the results would be catastrophic. Imagine making a barbarian with strength 8, warlock with charisma of 8, etc.
