See, this is what I don't get. If the opinions on this forum are just a drop in the ocean compared to all the data they're collecting through EA... and this forum is just a vocal minority, almost by definition... what's the point of this forum?

Why even have a Suggestions & Feedback section if it's just a vocal minority anyway? If everything that matters in the end are statistics, why bother? Why are we even here?
If you can disregard any criticism raised here because "vocal minority", this forum is pointless and should be shut down.

I'm not advocating for that, I'm just saying that's the only logical conclusion of your argument.

Larian have instrumented the game, and can tell from that what players actually do in BG3; this gives Larian a complete view of player actions, but it says nothing at all about WHY players perform those actions, and how they felt about the game at any particular time.

Forum posts can help Larian understand the in-game data they record, but as forum contributors are self-selecting, they do not represent a representative cross-section of the player base. So the data Larian record ( and how they choose to interpret it) will likely always be more important to changes they make.

It is my personal view that the best approach Larian can take to satisfying the wildly varying player expectations around the fringes ( I count myself in that group ), is to ensure the game has comprehensive and solid modding tools.
