Lets face it Larian are already in boucoup profit from EA sales as they used the BG name to promote DOS3. There is no way on earth that Larian are going into full pickle £$£$£ production when 99% of the assets were already cut and paste from DOS. A AAA budget because they hired Morgan Freeman and James Earl Jones as voice actors right? Narr they are probably still hungover from the EA sales.
At the end of the day all this media feedback is free promotion so they are going to feed them shit. The feedback they reference is non-existant in any forum I have read, they are making it up. I mean "the heat map" isn't feedback, that's database gathered game stats that mean FA to anyone. 400,000 people petted the dog though, yeah because the only other option was to kill it or walk off. Conclusion? More dogs. People use barrelmancy to cheese 80% of EA content. Conclusion? More barrels. People always jump over enemies and get to higher ground to win. Conclusion? More higher ground and more jumps.
The attitude of "we will not be changing (insert topic) because FU that's why" is a really bad faith argument. It's basically saying like it or lump either way we have your money chump so deal with it.
Why offer early access for feedback before informing the players the game is already set in stone? Seriously I wanna know. If it's just playdata gathering via heat maps then do what every other company does and PAY people to play it instead of bullshitting BG and D&D fans to pay for the development. DOS fans are happy except they want more barrels and cheese mechanics, whoosh>>> We will be right on it. This is exactly the reason I never buy EA or pre-order but this once I figured its been 20 years in the waiting this is going to be different. More fool me.
Yeah fool you. They gave people like you plenty of warnings.
