What bothers me is that a lot of people have complained about the armour system - it's probably the single-most-complained-about thing in the game, and yet Larian never acknowledged any of those complaints.
(At least, not anywhere that I saw.)
They still have a thread here saying that they're listening to everyone's feedback, yet they don't act on it or mention it.
Let's face it, the reason that people go through the trouble to complain about something is because they care about the game.
If the game was worthless, no one would bother complaining about its flaws. The reason I've complained at length and in depth is because the game has so much potential, yet a few things that I consider to be bad decisions ruined the experience for myself and at least some other people.
Of the three people I know (including myself) who backed the game on Kickstarter, one loved it, one only played the first chapter and couldn't be bothered to get farther because of the combat system, and, while I did finish it, I had to force myself to do so because the combat was simply nowhere near as fun as the first game's for me, and I mostly finished it for the story.
I did notice that Larian said that their next game probably won't be Kickstarted, and I couldn't help but think that I'd probably be far more hesitant to back another game from them now after how disappointing I found DOS2.
Still, I know I'm in the minority. The game has almost exclusively positive reviews, so most people must be more than happy with it.
