Oh for the love of Pete, just put the points where they were originally. Optional means you can put them where you want. So put them in their original places.
Cant be done. Humans lose +1 to all 6 stats and is replaced wtih +2 +1 to two stats.
Dwarves go from +2 +2 to +2 +1 and Half Elves from +2 +1 +1 (if I remember correctly), to again +2/+1. I bleieve one of the Elf races is also affected.
Hopefully they will revert, or come to their senses. But your suggestion is my plan, for those races where possible. The rest I will not play, my ocd prevents me :P
So 20 or so races gets literally improved while three have a minor debuff (which larian tried to compensate in a poor way) and the whole system is suddendly trash now?
I'm all for options and I will gladly accept an option that I will not use, not even for humans, but let's not pretend that the game is suddendly unplayable because two races and a subrace got the short straw.
were 20 races objectively buffed?
No 3+ races got debuffed. But some would argue that freely being able to allocate your ability score bonus is a buff I guess, even if some, (like me), strongly disagree with that for both lore, immersion and D&D rule reasons. among others.
