Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Has their been any official response from Larian?

I wouldn't expect much in the way of direct responses. I'm sure those at Larian are taking the pulse of things and are well aware (or becoming aware) of the various reactions. Press reactions, I'm guessing, tend to be more predictable/less useful (from a constructive critique perspective), given they will generally fall on the side of safe praise to maintain amicable access to the studio in question (since I doubt many studios are keen to offer someone critical of their games any more chances to be critical of it...though there are some studios out there willing to take the licks along with the praise).

Got a buddy that works in the industry, and feedback is certainly taken, though feedback presented in a vitriolic, aggressive, combative, insulting, etc manner are generally not looked at for content of the feedback, but are more often than not looked at in degree of distaste/dissatisfaction overall (and the particularly nasty ones are outright ignored).

I've offered my take in various other threads, and the only real significant feedback I have is to drop the '3' in the title. Certainly call it Baldur's Gate: Something to keep that desired awareness of mind in the consumer base at large, but it avoids (mostly) the feedback critical of calling it '3' when it really has no connection other than being in the same world and region that the Bhaalspawn saga took place in 100 years prior. Of course it may be too late at this point to actually drop the '3', whether due to considerable sums on advertising spent and merch already made, contract stipulations with WotC....or just to prevent studio morale from dropping off a proverbial cliff.

I'm sure they'll be collating all this feedback after such a major presentation....but I'm not holding my breath for them to share their feedback of said feedback. :P

Edit: I will say this though, given the significant number of glitches and bugs Swen encountered during his presentation, he rolled with it and was not remotely concerned about hiding or pretending nothing was going awry. He was happy to show what he had to show, warts and all, with a smile and giggled along with those in attendance. Honestly, that's pretty damned impressive these days for a studio head.
