Early Access is the perfect moment for criticism and negative feedback. It helps building a better game. I'd rather be negative in all my posts and see the game get in a state as close as a D&D based game could be, than to just praise it for all its good aspects (and it has some good aspects of course) and sit there telling the devs nothing but "game is perfect".

Some things didn't work in DOS:2 and they use the roughly same engine so those mistakes will be carried over whether the game has the same flavor or not. Problems with surfaces, problems with your characters linked and trying to avoid those damaging surfaces when regrouping, taking huge detours and ending up walking straight into new foes by doing so. Those things need to be adressed and worked on before the game releases.
Bonus actions, action economy, use of spell scrolls, overuse of surfaces even on cantrips, those are things that aren't feeling right for now, and there is quite a lot of feedback and suggestions on how to adress those issues.

I just hope whenever someone writes something negative, people will actually go beyond the "another hater just crying because it's turn based" or whatever. Reddit might be packed with those, but I think Larian forums stand up pretty untouched by trolling.


How you criticise matters too. I’ve seen a couple of people ruin otherwise valid points by throwing in pointless insults at Larian.

As long as people are respectful and ideally give constructive feedback with suggestions, there should be no problem with other people on the forum and their feedback stands a much better chance of being taken seriously.
