we could scale it down, or we could scale ourselves up. And so we chose to scale ourselves up.

That's good news. I mean BG1 was all about just walking into random houses and getting quests. I've never measured hours completionist run takes me about 2 weeks. We'll see if this is what we actually get but the goal is the right one.
Sure, but I have doubts if some things Larian upscaled itself for are worth pursuing. Maybe Larian is having some aces up their sleeve, but between their previous titles and what we have seen in EA I feel it is pretty obvious where they are going with this title - and at least for me, it is not a terribly exciting vision.
