1) What type of Early Access are they doing ?
Well Larian is going the same way they went on DOS2. 1st act in EA, polish the mechanics based on player feedback, finish the game, realease it, update it based on feedback , call it a day.
I didn't play through DOS2 EA, I bought the "Definitive Edition" and the fact they took under consideration player feedback was visible after me. The whole game looked like " That's how we want you to play, but you don't have to do it. Here's the forum dwellers version."
2) The silence
Sven in one of the interviews said by selling the game at full price in EA they expected " a small community to work with". That small community wrote in a month the equivalent of the feedback DOS2 gathered in a few years. I think Larian wasn't even remotedly ready for it, they got the shit spammed of them and the silence is a " let's figure this out" kind of thing.
Going forward:
What you say above is one way of doing it, mimicing the solution The Composer provided is also a viable way of doing things after me.
I don't think there's that many different major topics to be adressed in the end. Some words about the ones under Mega-Threads +
https://forums.larian.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=682449#Post682449 would already calm down the situation and center the discussion on the forum.
Well in the end Larian will do what Larian does best. A solid RPG. Kinda expected them to be more vocal while working on it though. They are literally working on the game of our childhood for a lot of people.
