Sven is very good at being a likable online persona
I could not disagree with this more heavily.
Perhaps. I don't think I watched very first panel only. I am more familiar with Sven through short content and interviews.
Funny, I also did not enjoy Swen killing Nick's character in the Grymforge playthrough and getting so excited about it.
That is, however, best way to play Larian in my experience. Messing with other player and being mess with has been the thing that made Larian games what it is. That feature has been heavily advertised back in D:OS2 (even unrealistically so to some extend). I find this stuff unfun outside initial novelty - that's why I consider D:OS2 more of a streamer game, then a gamer game.
