I can certainly appreciate that BlackDragon and I'm glad you expressed it.
I think in that sense it is disappointing though as you say understandable and not a dramatic concern in this case. I suppose that's just the way the cookie crumbled this time, I don't think Larian planned it this way. It seems to me more a result of the timing (and success) of the kicktstarter, coupled with Larian's highly iterative style of development and the importance of Original Sin's success to them as a company. They've put a lot of love into this baby.
You can't please everyone. Nor Larian nor anyone else able to do it.
You can't even totally please anyone
