I'll play the EA whatever is the UI but I really think this could be another "link" (or at least not totally another break with the feelings of the older games)
I'm glad to hear you'll be playing the EA. I'm guessing 99% of the people who play the EA will be those who are already gushing about the game and at most have only minor issues with the game. So it's the feedback Larian receives from the other 1% that will truly help improve the game.
That sounds doubly presumptuous. Just because someone is stoked for the game does not mean they their feedback will not help to "truly improve the game," nor does it mean that the other non-gushing, major-issue-seeing people's feedback will. If anything, I can see the latter bunch being heavily comprised of unreasonable malcontents who won't be satisfied unless their outlandish, impracticable, and/or extreme demands are met.
I don't get why you'd defend people who are excited and then take the exact same position you defended against on people who are critical. I promise being harshly critical doesn't mean someone is going to demand utter perfection in their own eyes - they'll just push for it because they want the game to succeed.
I know you didn't use absolute language, but this post came off as very disingenuous.
