I can't believe they are caving in before entitled players who want to have everything their way, even if it doesn't make any sense.
Isn't this an RPG that is trying to tell a story? In that story Shadowheart is a Cleric of X and Gale is a Wizard. Period. The gameplay absolutely has to match that. This is not a case where the player gets to tell their own story where Shadowheart was a Bard instead, because the narrative doesn't and shouldn't bend that much. Larian should pride themselves enough in this and assume it's better for the player, in the end, to experience the game as a cohesive presentation where gameplay and narrative support each other rather than giving player tools to mess it all up in a sandbox fit. Help teach kids they can't always get what they want.
