You appear to be making a tautological argument. Anything which allows deviation from the way you wish the game to be is bad. These choices allow the game to deviate from the way you want the game to be so therefore they are bad.

Oh my god, it has NOTHING to do with Larian's selling point, he was talking about SYSTEMIC design. Systemic design doesn't care about who wants what, it is set there in place in order to make systems work and create a fair and balanced experience. What they did is said: "Well, we are leaving big holes in our systems so that you can abuse them to feel good, and if it makes you feel bad, you can avoid abusing them and become a system designer yourself". This is so lazy, they made a poor system, disguised it with freedom of choice and then crashed it on top of every EA players' head. EA players are what made this game possible at this scale in the first place and they played a COMPLETELY different game which is likely going to be substituted with some casual bs.

All of this does not apply if the news prove to be false.

Can you explain why this is bad, apart that you don't like it?

I played the EA, i see no problem with these changes. Respec is kinda standard thing these days. If people want to respec every fight let them. If people want to abuse system they will and no one can stop them. On other hand these changes will help new players from screwing up and having to restart the game if they don't like the class they picked or want to try something else. IWhile i don't really care about changes race of the characters, i doubt Larian will give that option. Most likely it will be just class, stats, and feats for Tav and stats and feats for Origin characters.
