I'd read old suggestion thread (before D2 was released, so, it was suggestions for upcoming D2) - know what? Yeah, I think you know the answer - almost no suggestions was used in the game.
Untrue. We read the suggestions and sometimes incorporate them, if possible and if we feel it would benefit the game. I remember a list going round in the office at some point during development that listed suggestions/requests copy-pasted directly from the forum.
One example I can give: someone posted - I don't remember who - that it would be cool to find out what happened to the character Buad from Divine Divinity, which influenced me to write a quest about him, a quest that is now in Divinity II.
