We just have to wait for the full release to see what options Larian will leave us with. People wanting early access to be right up their alley and coming in with some preconcieved notions of what a Baldurs Gate game is - has and will continue to lead to people getting jaded and angry with the game (completely their fault because the terms of use are clearly stated and there is enough information out there about the game to know if its for you or not, but its still sad).

Right now 90% of the forums is all regurgitated howling at the moon. Same old questions with the same old answers for the past 5 months that I have been here. There is no way that the game will stay in the state it is and that Larian won't at least give people the option to choose how they wish to play the game with some of the alarming issues that have been addressed on their forums. Call me naive but I still have hope.

I mean, yes. Modding is all good, but it doesn’t replace the need for finishing the game you are making. If players themselves have to create semi-competent UIs then I would describe it as a dumpster fire. They might have value as a creativity toy, due their modding ease and flexibility, but I wouldn’t want other games learning any wrong lessons from Elder Scrolls.
Oh, no no no I didn't mean for it to come out like that. I want BG3 to be a complete game, ofcourse, but its almost as if people forgot that its still a game in development. Most of the people are attacking them on topics that are subject to change as if they peddaled a finished product on them. At least the criticisms here are eloquently sorted. Its been almost a decade since Skyrim and people are still making 10/10 mods around the game, completely rehauling most of the foundations. If Larian makes their game open in a similar model, I think most of the glaring issues could be solved in time, some would be improved and a whole plethora of new additions could make this the ultimate D&D experience for years to come. But hey, here I go with my own wishful thinking. smile
