I realize this may be trigger for some people ... Lets at least try to keep things civil here shal we?
Now with that said ... I realize this may seem like a bad joke, since in the past i certainly defended Larian and their creative vision over Raw DnD rules.
But lately ... especialy in last few days i feel like when Swen said that they want people who participated in EA to feel like they started completely new game ... maybe it was meaned more litterally then i would like.
To me ... and im sure many people will claim it started much earlier ... it started with Racial Stat Bonuses removal ... Then there are Warlock changes for pact of the Blade ... i realize it needed a boost, but it feels like Larian pushed that boost unnecesarily far ... Now we are learning that Loading wil be remover from Crossbows ...
And i have to ask ... Why? What exactly was the purpose of letting us learning for more than two years systems and rules that will never apply? O_o Many people around here spend lots of effort and energy into feedback in order to shape this so called system we got into something that will be at least "kind of" ballanced and working ... result, is not ideal, but certainly a lot better than what we started with ... now when we are right before finish line, Larian just take it all ... and thow it away? :-/
It just feels really odd. :-/ And i dont like it ... i dont like this attitude at all.
It feels like "hey good thing you were training driving a car for last two years ... here is your plane".
I highly doubt the last two years was for us to learn the game. It was to gather feedback, which Larian did, and incorporate it. Even the feedback of those players, that wanted the game more casual, which it now seems to be. They are entitled to their opinion as well.
Basically what we now get isn't D&D 5e BG3, but the same thing with homebrew rules. While I don't do tabletop/pen&paper D&D but play other RPGs like that, I homebrew a lot to make it more enjoyable too. I think that's a good thing that Larian did there.
