Argonaut - I agree, but based on my experience with Larian (more on that below) I think they got gameplay covered. will it satisfy everyone? no, but that's impossible. Still, I'm sure most people will find it fun.

Godforsaken - Totally with you man. You could say Kotor and Neverwinter nights are very similar to Bg gameplay-wise, but BioWare's age of glory went on long after them. I'm really doubtful that Mass Effect players were not in part bg players.

robertthebard - We haven't heard much from them and what we did hear didn't really give me comfort. more on that below:

My expectations from Larion and what I expect to happen I mentioned in my original post several things I base my predictions and opinions on, but I failed to mention several more:
1. A Reddit Article that goes over the changes between DOS2 early access and the full game
2. the comments Larian made ever since the EA was released.
based on everything I said in my initial comment plus these two, I assume that Larian's focus is first and foremost the gameplay. Perhaps all of our fears are unfounded. I certainly hope so. but there is no indication for that at least for now.

Indeed, but as I said, it may simply be that they are extremely busy going over feedback from the gameplay, the feedback button on the launcher, the Steam forums, these forums, and Stadia forums, if they have any forums over there. With over a million copies sold, it's not surprising they may be overwhelmed, but actions speak louder than forum posts, and there have been hot fixes and a complete rollback of a patch. This is encouraging.
