Not surprised. They want it like DOS2 where you can be anything and everything without any roadblocks.
I feel this is why they hid multiclassing in EA. Who knows what else will be changed upon launch.
They were always going to do what they wanted to do.
That's where the table top ruleset is going too.
This is something that I have literally found out today. The new generation of D&D is coming out next year and some of these horrific changes sound like Larian are aligning BG3 with with the next handbook...this is genuinely just terrible. Hold on to your 5e books and take great care of them because Wizards of the Coast are about to kill D&D. If you don't have physical paper books for 5e go and get a set now before they go out of print because when they are gone they'll be gone forever and all the digital stuff will be erased and replaced with the new horrible stuff.
