The first gameplay reveal was met with overwhelming positivity
What? The reception was such that I felt really bad for Larian, that they got trashed so hard. I'm not saying there was no positivity, but there was a lot of negativity too.
Go to any video of the PAX gameplay reveal on YouTube and you will see significantly more likes than dislikes. I’m not sure where you saw any reception that was encourage pity for Larian. Despite some vocal opposition here and there, there hasn’t been much for them to complain about.
The one in which the main developer gets his ass kicked in the very first fight and has to resort to surface effects from DOS? Player thoughts used as narration? Goofy movement animations? Reused assets from DOS2?
