@1varangian : yes. That use of their data didn't sit well with me. And I forgot that prone shouldn't break concentration (according to this
post, I haven't checked the rulebook ... but it sounds intuitive : just because you're on the floor doesn't mean you're unconscious).
@Lunar Dante : I don't want to spoil your hopes, but ... you should probably revise them. From what I've read (links to come in a future post), WotC has a tendency to be present at interviews and promotions for BG3. Naturally, given the nature of the exercise, we probably shouldn't take everything said at face value. But the feeling I get is that WotC and Larian are completely on the same wavelength. WotC isn't summoned as a mere legitimising tool. They sound very happy with what Larian is doing and they aren't going to bridle Larian and tell them to stick to the rules. Now, granted, I think it was only/mostly Mike Mearls representing WotC previously, I don't think I heard Jeremy Crawford. But I doubt he's going to sing a massively different tune.
@daMichi : I'm kind curious as well. I don't think I'm optimistic or pessimistic, but I have one main wish : they Larian starts communicating more and better. That they clearly spell out their vision, what they find fun, what they want to do. And also that they indicate what's decided and non-negotiable, what's already on their to-do list (whether from before EA or existing feedback, doesn't matter), and finally what is worth providing feedback on. So as to reduce the noise in the feedback and requests.
@Niara : that's exactly the case. They weren't exactly the plainest and most explicit about it, but they have their vision of fun, of what's boring in 5E, and what they're shooting for. That has never been faithfulness to 5E.
