My apologies for offending anyone. My point was really the opposite of perhaps the way it came out.
I have no problem with people having an opinion about the game and whether they think it is like BG1 or 2 or not. I have no problem with people suggesting to make it feel more like the previous games, change the UI, etc. I only meant that the aggressive, attack-nature and tone of some of the posts is not constructive. It just makes people not want to suggest anything.
As far as what I said about BG1 and 2, I just meant that I understand why Larian would not want to use the same style of gameplay and UI and so forth. But you are also right in that I am only assuming the game would not do well if they created it in the same style. Who knows? It could do very well if they had similar UI functionality and so forth.
So please understand I wasn't trying to say that everyone who disagrees just needs to suck it up and shut up, or anything like that. I'm just trying to get people to look at it from Larian's point of view. They obviously care a great deal and are trying to make the game the best way they can to make it as profitable as they can and to try to make as many people happy as they can. It's gotta be tough trying to do this and stay on budget.
But certainly, suggest whatever you want. That's actually my overall point. I am trying to encourage people to suggest away. If you agree with the suggestion, say so and maybe if enough people agree they'll implement the change.
The issue I have is that a person suggests something and immediately is attacked, or at least that was my Steam experience. THAT is counter-productive, and does nobody any good and may cause people with good ideas to stay silent.
