I hope we'll get more info soon, so I can actually decide what I think about this.


I am one of Larian's biggest cheerleaders, but I am also a little concerned here because I don't understand this change in context. It's just an odd thing that doesn't make sense.

Is Larian trying to dissuade people from playing Human? Variant Human would be super popular - because that extra feat, skill and the +1 +1 in two abilities. Are they worried about the statistics from that first community update being the same with players overwhelmingly playing milquetoast white dudes?

Yeah, it was a bit sad and lame but if that is someone's journey let them have it.


Gale, Wyll and Minsc are Human while Shadowheart and Jaheria are Half-Elf (Half-human). There is human majority in the game already. These stat changes nerf 5 companions even if we choose another race for our character(assuming Larian doesnt want us to pick human).


There are some Larian homebrew I dont like but I see their reasoning. I dont comprehend what Larian is trying to achieve with changes to Human. Sven’s younger cousin wants to play humans with polearms and extra carrying capacity?
