Whenever I sense a breakdown in concord, I tend to blame Larian for not really curating their own boards, or taking on the EA experience and participation a bit more actively via engagement. Who Larian is and what plans they have in the offing, what they think about the game's development so far and what feedback they're after, it's all like a big perpetual mystery here. It has a way of setting up weird arguments by proxy either in their defense or contra, and really sort of galvanizing the forums denizens against themselves pointlessly. I find it frustrating, cause it's like they've just absconded and left us to mull about without much direction. When things get dicey here, I just try to recall that everyone who has made the effort to sign up and post here probably cares somewhere deep down in their heart, because these boards are definitely pretty unwieldy hehe.

It was the worst kept secret that Larian announcing a BG game would attract a high level of interest and scrutiny (Siege of Dragonspear anyone?). To that effect, Larian's engagement has so far been very poor, and personnally, I won't participate in any of its future EAs.
