Nobody is paying modders. I'm paying 100$ for Larian's game. Wish this was an option. It weakens the differences between races. It means the strongest halfling will be as strong as the strongest half orc. That seems weird. Lol or the healthiest half elf will be as healthy as the healthiest dwarf. Please make this maje sense. Dwarves, elves, and half orcs should not be treated as different style of humans. It is what it us. Lack of options is kewl.
But... that's the way it has been for the lifespan of 5e? That's a terrible argument. 18 STR for a Halfling is the same as 18 STR for a Half-Orc. The strongest halfling IS as strong as the strongest half-orc. That's the way it works. If you want to lean on that might as well go back to the ridiculous years of women having different stats from men. Honestly, I like this change and am glad it's the one going live. I don't see a need or a point in Larian letting people swap between systems; this is the EA version, not release. The only things that should be 100% set in stone are what we get on launch date, and even then things are liable to change or be buffed/nerfed. I'd rather they keep poking at things they actually need to advance, not go backwards. Frankly, the dialogue issues for co-op are a significantly bigger issue than Half-Elves and Humans suddenly not being the normal meta pick for once.
