I really just want an ETA on the AI personalities and the companions.
I don't care about another "unofficial" delay. I can wait but I want to know how long I have to wait and whether it makes sense for someone like me (with my preferences and tastes) to actually start a new campaign next week or not.
And I agree with Stabbey that AI personalities and companions are a big issue for the "SP roleplaying faction" among us. Party interaction and fleshed out characters are one of the core features and "magic" of a party RPG. It's one of the features that made BG2 so awesome tbh. Of course the game is still great fun without but it's not how it could or should be. Adding 100 less important features doesn't substitute cutting/delaying an important feature (at least not for me). A longer but less fun game doesn't substitute a shorter but more fun experience. Of course that depends on your personal assessment what you think is an important feature in a game like that.
