I have no issue with that, Dnd to me is played out I would like something new setting wise.

Honestly adhering so closely to 5E means it inherits some of the same problems that the tabletop game has.

Many spells are objectively bad or have very narrow use cases. Powerful enemies are immune to so many status effects that it limits the options for characters that aren't mostly focused on dealing damage. Dual wielding is ineffective compared to just carrying around the biggest great sword you can find. Etc.

At least if you already know these quirks then you can work around them, but going back to play Divinity OS2 I think that Larian will be just fine without the D&D system/setting.
