Yes, options please. I haven't played WotR yet, but Pathfinder Kingmaker had similar options to tweak the rules to your liking. I finished playing Solasta about a month before BG3 released, and it also had options to tweak the rules how you want. Solasta had the VSM+ components to spell casting, which are missing in BG3. You can turn them off in Solasta, and initially I was going to, but the more I played it that way, the more immersed it made the game feel. The inventory system in BG3 feels like cheating.
Rope, yes! I feel like all that useless rope was actively taunting me in the game.
So rope is useless?! That's disappointing to know, but now that I know that I can stop carrying it around thinking I'll find a use for it.
