Yes, but I also feel it's foolish to assume that Larian can't forsee consequences without direct feedback. If they see what people respond well/badly in levels 1-4, surely they can apply those lessons to later levels. And I share your worry - I think combat system as it is has a lot of problems which can get much much worse once we prograss up the power curve. But I am less worried about Larian not realizing consequences of their changes, and more about them seeing fun, in things I don't find entertaining. I am also confident there is far more testing going on, then just EA playerbase.
Agree. I would guess that we will see at least level 5 in EA to test things like multiple attacks (an essential feature). I would say as long as Larian gets the systems right (aka makes them real 5e) there are no big worries for later levels for me. The only thing that could break later levels would be exessive homebrew and not sticking to 5e. This is why those things are pretty much my biggest worries and I really hope that patch 7 will be the big systems patch and not another "class + land mass" thing (which I did really enjoy as a kind of EA anniversary thing).
