About pandering to fans:

First, I think this isn't as cut and dry as some of you think it is. Without delving too much into death of the author, there are many cases in which ignoring your fanbase completely may lead to disastrous results (star wars prequels hi), but the opposite is also true (check out the development process of final fantasy XV).

I think that the bigger the community, the harder it is to please everyone, and I don't think this is a controversial statement. As such, I understand how it would be difficult for Larian to be attentive to fans and open to make changes. However, Larian did much to provide fans framework for providing feedback, from the form in the game luncher to this forum. I think it is silly to give us so many tools for providing feedback and than completely ignoring it.

In addition, like I said, the problem isn't the fact that Larian don't want to change things and prefers to keep to its roadmap. The problem is this entire facade of listening to feedback and building the game together with the fans.

"74.85% of you stood with the Tieflings, and 25.15% of you sided with Minthara. Good outweighs evil, it seems."
