That's what people said about CDPR before Cyberpunk 77 turned out to be fucking awful from start to finish. Some good ideas here and there, but nothing was actually executed properly, and the game is probably the most schizophrenic experience I've ever had. Can't make up its damn mind if it wants to be a looter-shooter or an RPG or a story game, and it essentially fails at all three.

Larian has a history of not being that damn incompetent but so far all they've managed is a decent first act. They haven't managed to get the ruleset sorted out, their approach has some tangible problems, their user interface is making naughties games look good, and their communication about what they want to do and how they want to do it and when they want to do it is pretty much zilch.

So am I worried? Do I have any bad tingling in my gut that the company that gave us toilet chain movement and drag-to-group and frustrating camp mechanics and incredibly unreliable party dialogue triggers and origin nonsense and three-quarterlings with giant heads and an aggressively cramped map that doesn't convey adventure or exploration or really any care or effort to build a nice word is going to phone it in a little too much? Yeah, I do.
