I am starting to consider that this game went into a major development shift, and from "interactive-quite realistic" focused to "free-Coop" focused, and this is why I am so uneasy about it.
I really think "free-coop" can be amazing, and on this path, Larian seems to be doing and incredible job, and it could indeed be a milestone. It is the "interactive-quite realistic" shift that is really bugging me.
If this happens to be true, this would be very intersting to know the "history" behing this.
