Still no companions I like. The drow lady has such a deep and raspy voice. It's unnerving. I hope some mod changes that.

You have to have the person in your party to loot their underpants.

That's a plus in my book.
_____________
I loved the final fight in Curse against Tyranthraxus, and battling the Beholder Core, and even mobs of kobolds in PoR.
I'd intentionally start a three way New Reno faction fight in Fallout 2, and replay the Regulator fight in Fallout 1.
(I was able to save Zimmerman more than once; but the town always seems to turn hostile afterwards.)
Would you be upset if I removed gnomes from my game?

Yes. Very upset.
Well I can save a few pages with their removal.

After I slaughtered the grove inhabitants Halsin showed up at my camp and attempted bear rape on me. Fortunately my companions gay lovers were there to stop him.

We'll add Leprechauns instead. Ireland winning for once.
We'll even put a special clause: if you're a bard and you rock a lyre, you gain 10% more EXP.
That sounds like a Bard playthrough, for me, now that I think about it. Hhhmmm...
What are you going to do to stop me?
I'll accept Paypal of $2,000 to keep them in and put your name in the credits of all my books.

Remember this is what you argued for over 40 pages now. Aren't happy with the degeneracy you love?

Tentacles can be creative.
Level 5, cleared the goblin camp. So far I like the homebrewing they did to the 5e ruleset. Thief subclass is actually worthwhile since they get second bonus action and it's easier to fulfill sneak attack conditions compared to tabletop. Dual wielding also doesn't feel as useless, though I haven't tried it on fighter or ranger. And GWM + Polearm Mastery combo isn't as attractive option here since you have more stuff to use bonus action on and ability score feels like it matters more. STR doesn't feel such a dump stat on characters who don't use it to attack since jumping is so vital for mobility.

I think some of the stuff he has in the game is well-written for a game. Equal to BG2.
The problem is zoomer/coomer mentality. You need instant gratification - usually sexual. You need everyone to be a super special snowflake.
These are the two main problems with the characters as is, besides the obvious LGBLT stuff, which is related.
The uniqueness is most of the problem. You'll see later on about that. But that's a byproduct of this being an effectively higher level campaign than BG1, and of giving them all long questlines. BG1 capped you at what 5E would consider level 6 or 7. (In my estimation.) Each of them has to be more interesting in order to hold the interest of players for their quests over a long time, and dealing with powerful enemies in the late game. Some normal character isn't going to have that.
I think that's why BG2 eliminated many of the original cast of NPCs and went with a stripped down list of the more interesting or memorable ones. Edwin and Minsc were cartoon characters. Jaheira had harper drama and Elminster coming to intervene personally. Viconia was being hunted by Lloth. You still had more normal characters like Korgan, Keldorn, Cernd, Valygar, Mazzy, but each of them were already experienced, with friends and enemies that made them facing higher-level enemies natural. The exception being Nalia, but she was special in her own, and offered the player a stronghold.
Also, you don't need to feed Gale magic items forever. It's only in Act 1. I think it was originally, in part, to give the player something to motivate them to deal with the druid grove instead of just dealing with the goblins, or skipping things entirely. Originally, Gale would ask you to help him steal the magic idol in the druid grove. But this results in the druids murdering the tieflings if you don't investigate Kaga first. So, if you wanted to be good and keep Gale, you'd need to do both. If you wanted to be evil, it fell in line with killing the grove one way or another. Eventually, the concept was dropped, and now you just feed Gale some normal magic items.

With how much Larian borderd on bancrutpcy in the last 10 years, I imagine they wanted to go all in on the epic feel because no one knew this game would be that popular.
Going "basic" and then deliver on the "high level feel" in a potential but maybe unlikely sequel, probably would've been the higher risk.
