I see some presumption here ... Like presumption that Larian will use some 5e monters that are, again presumed, totally unfitting as enemies for level 1 character ... O_o

Indeed ... So why would they use them in such case? O_o And probably more importantly, why would they even bother with creating weaker version, and nerf it even futher a little later ... since if you remember, Imps in previous patches had Fire and i believe even Poison Resistances.

See there is another presumption ... XP split, something nobody except you (and i believe one or two other people i have seen) never mentioned previously, like ever ... and game curently dont even show any hits that they would like to implement it in the future ... Quite the contrary since they were fixing that tiny detail, that Shadowheart was 30xp late, compared to rest of our group.

B. That if you only face said 3 imps you'd gain enough XP to gain a level up after your first encounter. So they severely nerfed how many XP's you should get from that encounter so you don't level up right away.
And C. they either nerfed it both ... or never even cared about what stats or XP reward monster with same name should give. Imps were simply chosen bcs they are fitting best Tutorial atmosphere ... and XP was chosen so it fits their game. Nothing deeper there.

In other words ... if your presumption has ben corect.

In other words ... change litteraly everything you builded so far. I mean come on ... you change stats, you change party size, you change starting party (even tho i believe it was confrimmed in the past that we will be able to create multiple custom characters in Single player), you change xp reward system ... whats left? O_o

This is first pure suggestion without any asumptions ... And i totally disagree with that ... As we said multiple times before (and you were agreeing with that too) simply allow party of 6, warn people who allow it that game was not ballanced for that amount of characters and everyone should be happy ... there is litteraly no reason to create double amount of Difficiulty settings based on party members number. -_-

Yes, this is the right way ... Allowing 5th and 6th party member AS PART OF DIFFICIULTY SETTINGS!

And that is why you are wrong ... We keep telling you this for last 3/4 year and you still dont get it. :-/ You are using different set of rules (yes many of them are same, and many of them are based on your rules... but they are NOT SAME) ... therefore your simulation are false. -_-
I still dont understand why cant we change Race for our hirelings. Lets us play Githyanki as racist as they trully are!
