Ok. Let me also clarify. Whether he MEANT it as a lighthearted rant or not, the point I'm making is that the interview makes it quite plain that BG3 has been a huge challenge and a lot of work just to fix one little mistake.
Therefore, don't expect them to make major changes of any kind to the game. If that one little thing causes that much work, so you think they're going to even remotely take any other chances?
So, major element changes like Day/Night... Even party of 6 could break the game... RTWP? Heck no. Too much probability of crashing the system. Any kind of legit resting system beyond maybe limiting food more? Doubt they'll try.
In other words, EA suggestions should be brought WAY down.
