Always enjoy seeing a request for a roadmap, especially since those things get altered, ignored, tossed out the window or lit on fire. Frequent communication just gives a different kind of avenue for complaints, this is the internet don't expect rational discourse to be the norm. As for the release of Act 2 and 3, that's happening at the game's full release. I figure the next patch will be more classes, maybe races, plus however many bug fixes. The evil path overhaul will probably be farther down the line. I'd rather they take their time overhauling that story rather than rushing out something for field testing.
Solasta could very well be an amazing game, maybe the shilling is an indicator, probably not though. However, unless it's BG or Arcanum I just don't care.
Yes, I've followed other games development and EVERY comment the developer makes WILL get torn to bits . . . regardless of how much they communicate. And god forbid if they have to go back on their word . . . I've seen everything from death threats to employees having breakdowns to the point of leaving the industry.
Its FAR safer for everyone at Larian if they err on the side of saying too little.
