Well ... if we look aside from the fact that Larian would need to throw away lot of work and resources just to "try something" ... and concidering it as purely hypotetical situation ...
If the result would be fun to play ... i dont see any reason to stand against it. O_o
That would be pretty mad. laugh
I know you like to win your arguments taking the other part by exhaustion, with kilometric multiquotes designes to murder any mousewheel and filled for the most part of utter nothingness, but this is the one I couldn't let pass unanwered.
So you have no notion on your own of what's fun and what's not and your only way to decide is "Let's agree with whatever Larian will decide". Sounds like a confirmation of my point, frankly.
Also, not sure of what makes even you think that tweaking a couple of formulas would equate to "throwing away" this inane amount of work you are imagining.
