Please Larian- no last minute changes without player testing. At the very least make it optional.
There were actually closed tests for acts 2 and 3 so there is a very good chance playtesters liked it. Means we could like it in the end as well. Lets give it a try regardless.
I don't need to test it to know I don't like it, the changes are surface level and easy to understand. Half-elves have one less attribute point in exchange for a bunch of proficiencies that many builds will find completely useless, humans have 3 less attribute points in exchange for the same stuff as half-elves basically, and we know nothing about what shield dwarfs are going to get in exchange for their 1 less attribute point, if they even get anything at all.
