Great thread, OP. Way to neutralize what would be the reactions of some people who love to dismissively say: Larian will fix everything; just give them time. I agree with pretty much all the concerns that have been raised, and I don't have much faith at all that in time, when the game is in its final state, many of these concerns will have been addressed. I am in the camp that believes Larian doesn't see these concerns as flaws in its game. And so why would they fix something that they don't see as being broken or flawed?
