In an alternate universe, there's no respec system, but there's still a thread like this, only complaining the opposite, demanding a comprehensive respec option.
After years of watching the comments here, I've grown somewhat numb to the constant outrage, seemingly always coming from the same cast.
It's all half-facts, guesswork, and venom laced piss.
Worst case scenario: there's a respec system in the game that allows you to change everything so you make Lae'zel a half elf cleric of Shar and you make Shadowheart a githyanki fighter. Aw shucks! Now what? How could this happen? Shouldn't Larian have done something to save us from this tragedy!?!?!
