Looks like it is time for another year hibernation. Hopefully this will get ironed out by then.
See, though, my concern is that it won't get ironed out, ever. I'm concerned that I paid for what I thought would be a very true-to-5e-rules video game, and what I'm going to actually get, when the full game releases next year (if it even does), is going to be so far removed from that, that I won't want to even play it. There are enough voices on these forums echoing how broken some of these things are, and as of yet there have been precisely zero attempts to assure the community of players that these things are just in test mode because it's EA, but because we care about you, the players, they will be dutifully nerfed in later releases. In fact they haven't addressed them at all. It's like they decided Shove was fun for them, so who cares what the people who actually bought the game think. They thought it was so fun that they thought they'd add Shove-on-steroids because why not, because they like playing around with the physics of the game engine to see what kind of circus-act wackiness they can make work. Really glad Larian devs are having so much fun programming stuff that has no basis in D&D 5e. I hope they continue to enjoy it all the way to completely alienating a major portion of their audience. If these things aren't fixed, I will actively tell every place I haunt on the internet and in person not to waste their time buying it. Buy Solasta instead, sure its graphics seem to be ancient, its complete narrative is on the very short end of things, but at least they tried very hard to be true to the ruleset they based the game on.
