I'm interested to see what conclusions Larian will draw from all of what's been written and the data they got from the game, but I don't think this whole EA-thing will be 'each week you get a status update and overhauls'. Based on the feedback right now they have to make a big decisions that potentially will revampt their whole combat system and require them to rebalance and change all encounters if they accept that people want 5e and not DOS3.

The only conclusion that isn't intellectually dishonest and extremely underhanded is to immediately implement the changes as well as missing options(such as a RTwP mode).



Yeah... Except RTwP - based on the questionaire you can find here - isn't something even close to 50% of the people want and it would just significantly increase the development time. Like you said 'needs to be immediatly implemented'...

So sure, all the things they need to do are perfectly clear and undisputed and can be done within a week, probably even 2 days if they were not so bad at their jobs. Those lazy bastards....


...

Doesn't matter what the survey says, there is a large enough percentage that want the feature and we all took the full price plunge for EA. I work in IT and I could implement the entire mode in about 2 weeks provided I had nothing else to work on other than the implementation and I'm just one engineer. Development time is a valid complaint when you don't have two massive publishers bankrolling you on top of 60m income from full price EA. They can leave TB in as the easy mode it is and give us a RTwP mode.


I don't know about the rest of you all who purchased this developing game in EA, but I watched the dev gameplay videos before buying. Days before it was released. Turn based combat was a big part of what was shown. I dont get how you can blame Larian for being "underhanded" when everything was spelled out in front of you before you purchased. Buying something without taking a few minutes to research it first is the risk you took.

Use that IT expertise you have to develop an RTwP mod if it doesnt end up in the full release. It will certainly benefit the community more than putting out claims that Larian ripped you off.
