I partly agree. The basic game spirit and structure are based on DOS2, with rules derived from DnD5e and story derived from BG/FR. That was clearly what they were showing in all the pre-EA teasers and streams, and that is what we have.

Most of the complaints in the forum ( like this one ) really arise from that game design blend not meeting the personal preferences of the complainant.

This is fine, as personal preferences of gamers will be very varied, but it would be impossible for Larian to actually change the game so that it catered to everyone's preferences.

From that perspective, you are right that they will not listen to feedback that demands major changes, unless that feedback if overwhelming and one-sided.

But I think they will find ideas, or inspiration from ideas aired on the forum, so long as they are presented in a way that makes it clear how the game might benefit. Unfortunately, most complaints do not actually do that.
