people, call me a fanboy. maybe i am, b/c i like how larian is not like many/most other game companies, nonetheless i have to say:
all this talk about "what will be in?", "what features will not be in?", "i am disappointed b/c feature X will not make it until release" etc. really is crap! are you serious?
don't get me wrong; i was the same! i just wanted to be everything i could imagine to be in the game. i wanted everything kickstarter promised to be in perfectly down to the last detail.
but i then realized: the beta already has more content, more interactivity more of almost everything than most other games in their entirety. so what are you guys complaining about?
before you say something like "but Larian said ..." or "but it is Larian responsibility or even liability to ...": Larian is a company of people which by chance are humans. what do you expect from a team of 40 or so people? they already achieved more than so called AAA-companies!
Come on, be realistic. situation is like "wait longer until EVERYthing is in" or "release now ALMOST feature complete (see Swens post above) and have the few missing things patched in a little later". I for sure opt for the latter! Swen said that they would take care of this game! if you believed Swen before, why not believe him in the future?
AND there is the editor. so, if anything you want is missing, build it yourself or wait until someone built it for you!
wait till release day, play the game and then decide whether you are satisfied or not.
btw.:
A game is not a feature list. I look at D:OS and I can't believe how much we put in there - it's 5X the game we originally planned and I'm very proud of what my team accomplished with the few resources we had. What I'm the proudest of however that each feature that's there has sense, and isn't just something for the back of the box.
