The first gameplay reveal was met with overwhelming positivity, as has been the general consensus of the Early Access so far. Not everybody shares your opinion, and the circumstances seem to be as such that most people don’t.
Some people are whining while Larian seriously delivers. That would be probably the 1st cRPG where you can kill a bugbear by throwing a squirrel at it. And that squirrel is a rather nasty one, if you bothered to talk to it 1st. The game is unbelievably good tbh.
