this is a legitimate suggestion that I'm hoping Larian comes across
With full respect, yes, it's a legitimate suggestion from a "this is a thing I would enjoy in the game" point of view. But because I assume (an assumption I believe reasonably made on account of others' responses) it's such a minority position that just from a cost of development versus alternatives analysis, it's something that caters to such a minority that it's very unlikely worth it for the studio to consider.
There's a very reasonable argument to be made that what I've just said applies to some other things ursine related, but that's a marketing distinction. What you're suggesting doesn't, unless I'm very wrong, sell more copies, where other very niche choices they've made do sell more on account of how they land marketing-wise.
You're describing something that is very much the reason mods are a thing (and a very good thing).
