This game is not Minecraft, so I'm quite sure that letting players modify terrain to divert rivers would indeed require far too many resources to implement. I'm sure you know that they didn't have the resources to do a traits and talents thing until the KS, and that seems far less complicated.
In that specific example it'd require to manage the flow of liquids and the possibility to shape the terrain in real-time.
I have no idea how hard is it to implement these feature but they're not that uncommon, so we can reasonnably believe it can be envisaged without consuming much ressources. But well, it was an example and I didn't think it'd actually be taken seriously.
I doubt we'll have an official answer to close this debate, it's a particularly precise question, but it's worth trying.
No QTEs at all *ever*. QTEs need to die in a fire, get buried in a pit without bottom and just generally disappear along with whichever moron thought them up.
I appreciate constructive answers, and I can't help but expressing my sincere gratitude toward your intervention.
Now calm down ? If you want to pursue on the "moron" topic, let's do it in PM where we will liberally discuss about our respective opinions.
