So, another entirely subjective criteria, then. People can not even agree on what the original games look like (see the grimdark discussions), and extrapolating 20 years from that is suppose to be useful?

I'm not sure you know what the word exact means.

How do you? At least changes and updates are a reasonable position for a pre-alpha build of the game where the save system hadn't been implemented yet.

Complete? Except of course the BG fans that have posted in various topics that they approve of the current direction, are ok with it, on the fence or would have done things differently but it isn't quite time to get the torches and pitchforks.

Also, given that it is literally impossible to please everyone, any features not to your particular preference does not mean you were ignored. The people making the game are gamers, and like any group have various preferences and opinions. With D:OS 1 and 2, various features and design decisions were debated internally before showing up in public sometimes to be echoed in forums, and points raised in forums have triggered internal debates. That will likely be the case when Early Access starts for BG3, as well.


Excuses, excuses, excuses.

I understand you mate, you work for Larian so you have to defend your company.

But saying its hard to please everyone is a bit two-faced. Larian's team is just taking the easy route and doing what they know how to do, a DOS game.

They are playing it "safe".

Nothing wrong with playing it "safe", but you choose to make a legendary title like BG3, and get the opportunity, then a bit more ambition is expected.
