I'm really glad they finally talked to us, even if it's an interview!
Before I think that game would be released in early 2022, but after Swen's words, I don't think so anymore. He also mentions for the second time that the experience on the release will be completely different, which makes me very happy. About patch "based on player feedback" need to understand that the reviews are different and quite contradictory. Because BG3 community is divided into video game players and DnD players, I think this greatly complicates work for Larian. It's hard to please everyone.
You may not believe me, but there are really a lot of players who think that DnD system is bad/boring for video games, which is why Swen says that "you can't add everything from DnD". Because some of the players actually agree with him.
The question is what kind of reviews they are talking about.
I'm not too worried about the gameplay part, I'm sure they will try to make it as easy as possible for those who have never played DnD, but it is also possible to try to add more "DnD balance".
And if we are talking about sOlAsTa again, many ppl also consider it gameplay boring. It may be more "balanced", but many people still do not like it, even if it follows DnD, I think that's what Swen means.
For me, the story, the quest, and the characters are more important. And I like the way Larian writes, so I'm not worried.
