Exactly. These Larian forums are designed for people to vent their frustration or love for Larian. Nothing to do with game development. I feel really bad for people giving very detailed EA feedback, thinking Larian is taking note.
I thought Larian claimed that they would be looking at the forums?
You actually answered yourself. „claiming“ and doing are 2 different things. And often reading and ignoring going hand in hand at larian.
Larian probably use their in-game data gathering ( telling them what players are actually doing ) as the primary source of feedback. They did say that they would READ feedback from various forums, but not that there would be any direct discussion, except for AMA or similar events.
How would they make decisions using this forum anyway? It's a small self-selecting group of players that passionately disagree about almost everything. Changing the base game to suit one group would be an insult to everyone else; the best Larian can really do is attempt to incorporate as many suggestions as possible through formal options, and modding tools, both of which will come nearer release.
