Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity Original Sin - Beta New version, new complaints: have some context

You're getting negative feedback in your beta forum, because that's what beta forums are for, obviously. This is not likely new information to you, but don't let the critical feedback obscure the amazing game you are turning out.

The last time I felt like this about a game I'd been playing for a few weeks was in 2002, with Neverwinter Nights and Morrowind. Very different games; same sweet spot of enjoyment for Pete. 2002 was a good year.

And the change lists for your beta updates are incredible. You must be working like dogs. (Not my dogs, though. My dogs are lazy.)

You guys are knocking this out of the park. Don't lose sight of that.

Or let it go to your heads, of course. Now get the hell back to work.

Please don't make the mistake Runic did with TL2, and take so long to release the tool set that you end up breaking a lot of work people do in the meantime with improvised tools. I don't think they've recovered the momentum they had before the official tool set came out and knocked a year + of modding back to square one.

Different case, in that you don't have a previous version's tool set for people to work with while they wait, but still.

I agree. We are all just crazy excited for this game and want it to be the best it can be. I'm with you, I haven't thought about and been as excited as I am for this game in a long, long time. (BF2??) But anyway, yes we will voice our complaints and what we would like to see, but we do it out of pure love and excitement

I insist make constructive and rational feeback. Critical comments may seem sharp but whether it is neccesary remains uncertain.

Still remember what happened before - some (or one of) HoMM players made a death threat to the developers for the coming new contents. That was too young, too simple, and sometimes naive.

So, my suggestion is, if we want them change something, just come to the point instead of beating about the bush, and of course, give your reason as well.
