I'm not going to comment on positive/negative because I haven't really played the game yet (maybe 10 hours during beta). I will say that like others the AI pesonality is critical because I will be playing solo and I want my companion to behave in a consistent pattern without having to tell him/her what to do and I don't expect him/her to just agree with me all the time (ala my perception of loyal). Random might start out good but at the end of the day it will be obvious it is random (if random was more of a learned state; i.e, as the companion developed traits from a few initial random rolls and these traits drove it in a certain direction that woudl be a different matter; but the description implies this is not the case).

The above is not an expression of disappointment or negativity on larian but rahter a desire to wait for an improved experience (ala patches); but I wait a lot of times on games like this so this is nothign new.
-
With regards to the phantom forest more is always better (as long as it is decent quality); so if they decide to add more at a later date I woudl certainly not complain but until I play the game I can't really comment if the current experience is or is not satisfying (I never take others words on things - and I really only care if I find it to be fun or not fun not what others think).
-
At the end of the day I found DKS to be absolutely excellent (I hear earlier versions were less satisfying but I did not play them so no comment). DD was ok and i have yet to play BD. DC I have but i was unhappy with the RTS aspect during beta and since D:OS has dominated Larian time they have not spent as much on DC post release as they might otherwise.

Don't take me wrong I think your effort and support have been extermely good and I am willing to support you on effort alone and I hope I enjoy D:OS as much as DKS which was my favorite game of that period (even though it was overshadowed by a few other games in the press).
-
Btw the only AI personality I think is needed is a learning random behavior (described above); naturally others are welcomed but Loyality (if my understanding is correct) is the worse possible option as modest conflict is more intersting then having someone that is too agree-able for the sake of loyalty
