So since Vometia thinks my response was inflammatory, I will provide facts that directly dispute the OPs claims and hope that is not inflammatory.

And that's just here in these forums.

What about a quote from the man himself a week ago where he says they are listening to people's complaints and considering ways to address them: “We see the people that have really bad luck, and they are really, really angry over it. So, we're going to help them. We're going to add modes to the game that are going to go with things like a loaded die, and that's going to be a bit more manageable. We'll still keep the option of having full RNG in there. We'll experiment with that throughout early access, and see what we should make the default option. That's one of the things that will be driven by the analytics.” https://www.ign.com/articles/baldurs-gate-3-early-access-changes-player-data-feedback-larian

Sorry if my earlier post was inflammatory, but I feel this thread is inflammatory since it is contradicted by factual evidence that is not hard to find if you look for it.


On the one hand, this list of very specific comments doesn't fill me with a lot of confidence about Larian's willingness to change any of their initial plans.

But since we didn't get anything more concrete, we can make some safe assumptions on the matter:
1) Larian does read these forums, otherwise it might have been impossible for them to find these specific posts
2) Larian is willing to respond in some cases.
Now the rest is pure speculation and depends on the way one chooses to interpret these safe assumptions. You can be very pessimistic and say they only care about fixing bugs and use us to do so, or you can be optimistic and say they only respond to things they have a plan for and already started working on.
