Now with the rules and whether this is 5e or 5.5e or whatever I think Larian are doing their best but I also believe WotC is involved in some capacity as this will be by far the biggest and most impactful D&D game to date and it releases just before their next iteration of D&D next year. The rules in the game won't be perfect even but I think it will be fine even if some of the rules make me want to cry(see multiclassing and pact of the blade warlocks).[/quote]
Well I guarantee that these rules won't be in D&D Next.
The ranged limitations are only present, because Larian was too lazy to make an engine suited for the project and just used DOS.
WTF! Lets take a Volkswagon and chop shop it into a Porshe, then try to race it.
WOTC is under its own fire, with boycotts for its own bad decisions.
In a word Hasbro.
How many good franchises have been destroyed by corporate buyouts now?
