I probably missed the right thread but is there any reason why after more two years of early access where racials stats where used, Larian decided "suddenly" to use this flat +2/+1 for every race ? This new system seems flavorless for me.
Notice I made an human as main character without noticing the drawback you mention. I don't plan to restart (again) my first run and will finish the game with him.
If you're not averse to modding the game, there's a mod available that restores the old racial ASI. Be aware though that you still need a workaround for modsettings.lxs or the game won't start. In any case, the mod works for me and I'm having fun with it
