I don't think that reading all the feedback is insurmountable. I wrote a summary of 250 steam reviews https://forums.larian.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=704051#Post704051
That took me about an hour and a half. Multiply by 120 = 180 hours. About a weeks work for 3 people to summarize it and 2 more days to compare the top-50 complaints with their ingame analytics.
There should be results by now. I think they should have included at survy a few hours into the game like THQ did for the Gothic playable teaser.

I sometimes use thought experiments. I don't necessarily believe in every idea I post for discussion on this forum
