And you are contradicting yourself again ... If Larian's goal is to "hook the most amount of players" ... then their goal should logicaly be to "please the most amount of players" ... therefore, give those players what they want.
By excluding one option, they only asure that one group will be angry. That dont bring any benefit.
The people who even know what asi's are are probably a small minority of their targeted consumer base. The people who care enough about this to want the old style a fraction of that fraction.
This isnt a simple do it and make everyone happy thing. There's probably an Email chain out there talking about the opportunity costs of all this and of what will appeal to the most.
In all likelihood they'd probably loose sales by adding a toggle and thus adding another decision/clutter to the character creation ui.
Larin told us most players ran a default basic looking human fighter tav. Anything that slows down these players headlong rush into vanilla tavdom is going to have a negative impact on engagement.
Yall deserve to be happy, you do, but there's a good chance some data analyst the math and realized adding a toggle will make less people happy.
