People talks ... noting stays private for long in such small group.
That's the theory. No one ever talks in the game. Companions have a static spot on camp. They never talk together neither at camp or during your exploration... Except a bit Shadowheart and Lae'Zel.
But anyway as Virion said, they have a tadpole, we could consider that nothing is secret. On the other hand I agree with CJM and the reason to dissaprove is sometimes very unclear. I realize that this is what bother me rather than "she heard us". Answering something like "we have to find a cure" to shadowheart makes lae'zel dissaprove, which is stupid considering that we weren't talking about a specific solution (>< the creche)
More than half of the points in this thread sound easily fixed by mods when the game comes out, to be honest.
And ?
Mods are not supposed to fix a game and being able to mod the game doesn't prevent to make suggestions to improve it.
You should try Bannerlord, a game that NEED mods to be fully enjoyable. Mods are definitely not the cherry on the cake when we're talking about this game.
Anyway you looks to be in the "wait for release before making suggestions or complaint about something" camp.
Your assumptions are based on nothing but your "faith". Feedback and suggestion is what an EA is for.
