Humans and half-elves the weakest races after the new update?

[Jaeger Pilot]

Now that all races get the same ability scores, humans and half-elves seem really weak. Thoughts?

my thoughts are imma play a human male fighter just to spite Larian

That's what mods are for.

Until the next patch breaks the mod and you have to start over.

Not sure why they'd seem weaker than anyone else getting the same scores.

But they'll still be the best for being the best looking.

Yeah, let's nerf all the races that you don't like playing!

Because, before the change, their racial strength was getting more ability bonus scores than all the other races. Now they don't.

Mod devs are 4 parallel universes ahead of us all usually.

Hell Solasta's mod team had Unfinished Business working day one of the new DLC dropping.

There's more to both races than just ability scores. And you still get the points to put where you wish. So really I see it as a non issue if you like playing humans and half elves.

not going to lie, i never considered them as it didnt matter what stats they got if they were the wrong ones for the class i wanted to play. Humans without the bonus feat were always "weaker" and half elves never interested me.

Yes, but what do they get as a replacement for having the best ability scores?

We'll have to see. But they are getting something. Only one of those somethings was confirmed so far I think.

But base humans were always bad in 5E. The Variant version was closer to the much better 3.5 version.

Actually, remember that time Larian created a character based on the total average of what everyone chose in EA, and it was like the most bland human fighter?
They were legit pissed at us. They said we had no imagination lol. I died haha.
