Well, a lot of the discussions going around this forum are specifically about the fact that these changes often simply aren't good, though.
Adherence to the source material may be of secondary importance in a vacuum, but it's hard to point at it when "sticking to the textbook" implicitly solves problems that Larian introduced into the system.

Perhaps some of those changes were for reasons not entirely obvious to people on this forum?
