D&D 5E What previous-edition D&D settings, races, classes, items, weapons and so on do you think we'll never see in 5E?

WotC actually got in crap by a few folks over how they handled Chult, although it was more that the Chultans lacked cultural depth,
then anything insulted anyone,
which is why they are hiring cultural consultants for more diverse cultures in 2020, they want to avoid both the PC land mines of lack of Diversity and being accused of Cultural Appropriation and just hiring Cultural Consultants allows them to do so, or that is the theory, but the truth is one is never completely safe from PC landmines now adays.

It’s simpler than that.

Hiring such consultants allows them to make a better product. Chult didn’t offend people, it just made people cringe at how shallow the culture of the Chultans was, and how obvious it was that they didn’t put much work into making something that felt authentic at all.

It also gets new folks with very different life experience and perspectives into the dnd production stream, which is good for the game. Stagnation is the surest fruit of a lack of diversity.

I do not expect to see a new take on Incarnum. Not that I'll personally miss it, anyway.
