4) We know the player will be given a voice in spite of some people here not liking it. So this reviewer didn't even do any research to see what is already on the horizon. Amateur hour.
This interest me, I haven't heard. Do you have a link or something where I can find the confirmation?
Btw just reading your critics I realise that I think very much the same as you do, the difference is like you said you are a fan already and don't care if those get fixed you will enjoy it anyways, and to me and I guess I am not the only one, those things ruin the fun after a couple hours. So in a way it is also your voice that I would like to be heard by Larian.
In regards to those reviews there are people who want a heavy D&D aligned game, those are the core D&D players out there, and others who are new to those rules and can see the issues of a 50 year old tabletop system brought to a videogame, personally I don't care which one they choose as long as they manage to make a fun combat. I loved the combat in DOS2 and I love playing D&D as well even though I acknowledge the system is a bit old and has its issues.
I think people keep bringin Solasta up because they did the heavy D&D based game very well, right now I think BG3 is sitting somewhere in the middle of that and DOS in a really odd place and it would be best to decide which were to go.
