Well, it's reinstalling now. Guess I need to finally settle in my head which I prefer, Valor or Swords.

Swords aint in yet.
The 5E SRD being in Creative Commons could be a huge deal for Larian if/when they lose the D&D license.
It makes sense for them to return to Divinity from a financial perspective because it's an IP they own outright. No revenue sharing with Hasbro and no worries that WotC will eventually pull the license.
However, they could use a LOT of the engine they've built for Baldur's Gate 3 to make essentially 5E D&D games with the brand name filed off, using the classes & races & mechanics in the SRD supplemented by their own original subclasses, just like Solasta has done.

Just a note, you can't carry over EA saves to the full game and Larian said the full game is so different that you are better served doing a fresh install of the game on launch date. I've been playing a bit of EA to prime myself for full release, but I'm not getting attached to anything I'm doing right now.
I discovered you can't just ditch dead companions ... Astarion got blown up so I was going to just leave him, but I can't dismiss him from the party now that he's dead

So... you need to kill them before they get in the party. Gotcha!

Not necessarily. They get more of the profits, but there's less profits because Divinity is not as big of a name as DnD. But I could totally understand not wanting to be beholden to WotC.
Solasta is DnD5, but it cannot really market itself as such, so... if you're at that point, why do an off-brand DnD side-story instead of making it a Divinity side-story.
lol. I really hope this isn't other RPG game like Deadfire that forces NPCS on you.
