Good summary and insightful comments as always, @Niara.

- Niara's Comment: Another remark that makes it feels like he has really no respect or care for the system they're supposed to be working within...
First of all, Swen says "What we learned from players" not "bears". Not sure if this is a typo or you misheard (or I can't find that specific "bear" dialogue line).
Your comment here seems a bit harsh (I'm assuming because of ^)? As apparent from forum posts, there are many things in BG3 that aren't adequately explained and leave people confused. BG3 definitely needs to have an improved tutorial, especially for teaching what things are D&D and what are Larianisms. This was the aspect of the interview I was ~most happy with.

The interviewer then asks: “Full release, is 2020 ballpark what you're aiming for?” To which Sven responds: “We would be happy if we can release next year, yes.”
- Niara's Comment: When was this interview recorded again?
I think the interviewer was asking "twenty twenty-what?", trailing off and leaving Swen to fill in that final digit. 2021 or 2022 or 202X
