I can only assume that you have an extensive experience of software designing.
Despite that i keep repeating that in mo professional programmer, and have only the basics? O_o
I can only asume you are not very carefull reader. :-/
If so, please, advice as to where I can obtain a copy of a product that you yourself have designed/developed or have been a part of a developing team or in any other way contributed to creating. If you haven't got any experience in software developing/coding/designing or otherwise attributing to a making of a such, then, please, abstain from making claims into what it takes to make it.
Sure ...
We can make such deal, i have no problems with it.
As long as it will apply to everyone who wants to participate in such discusion, or demand it from others ... why not.
And in such spirit ... please, be the first.
It seems that there is no shortage of suggestions and no matter how something gets implemented there will always be people who complain, It is inevitable. I'm positive that some of the options will be added or reworked, especially when Swen have said that much himself (according to you, I do not keep up with their announcements).
Yup ... agreed on both parts.
I also think that the whole EA thing was more of a PR move than a need for actual testing, I'm sure they have testers they work with.
Sure they do ... they have to test everything beyond EA ...
Spells, encounters, dialogues, cutscenes such stuff we were never ment to see before release.
Im not quite sure what do you mean by PR move, but if it is what i tink it is ... its still some kind of testing ... you put things into EA and watch how people react ...
Example of such test would be that Illithid on the beach that eat us, when we are not carefull ...
By this test they find out that quite a lot players of this game is unable, or unwilling to take responsibility of their own actions.
Another example would be whole Evil route ... many people claim they dont feel any appeal to take it ...
Such informations are usefull, if the studio is willing to use them.
You just cannot tell for sure that there is no cost for implementing something when you have NO insight into the actual development process.
I still cant quite understand how something you have can cost you more to keep it ... but i guess nobody will tell me.
Anyway even if you were right ... this works both way, without any insight people cant aswell claim that cost of some option would be too great ... so the best we can do is dont bring this nonsence at all.

See? Finaly at least something.
Even tho ... still hardly enough to fill at least one page.
Just one note:
In context of this topic ... "options" are things you can turn on and off ... things that would simply change the game without option to turn them off are not.
So ...
1. Day/Night
4. Mini-camp actually accessible via the map
6. Shove = 5 ft/2 meters
7. Dialogue triggered by short and long rest
14. Option to yeet a cat 300 feet into a spider lair and then have him and the entire party gain a short rest while the spiders are hunting for him.
15. Option to kill tiefling children - not just goblins
21. Options for better body types.
22. Options for better faces that look more like elf faces.
24. Options to not take the mysterious Box.
30. Options for better Fast Travel.
Theese are suggested changes ... not options. :-/
2. Random Encounters done right
3. 5e Rule Set
5. Short Rest managed by Hit Dice
8. Party of 6 max
9. Ability to turn off sex scenes and censor language
10. Ability to turn off blood
19. Option for food to spoil so I have more useless junk in my inventory.
28. Options for RTWP.
Theese are actualy options ... so ... we managed to get 8 of them together.
Some of them are obviously unrealistic (28) ... some of them are actualy really good ideas (i would especialy support 8, 9 and 10) ... some are, well i gues they just are. :-/
11. Ability to replace Astarion with a Teletubby
12. Option to have headshots cause confetti to burst out and for children to scream, "Yay!" Like in Halo.
13. Option to ride on the red dragon in the scene with the kith'rak
16. Option to pvp another player while they're in a dialogue with an NPC.
17. Option to shoot an NPC while another player is in dialogue so the NPC attacks the other player.
18. Option to gain frost giant strength in a moment so I can throw enemies at other enemies and do more damage than a weapon can to both.
25. Options to not die when walking on lava in Grymforge
26. Options to not use dice at all in a D&D game.
27. Options to not uses classes
Theese are obivously just random bullshits ...
Im not quite sure why are you trying to discredit yourself with such trolling. O_o
20. Option to not have my MC have a voice.
23. Options to take a dump
29. Options to have MORE dialogue choices
And my english skill is too low to decode whatever you were trying to say here ...
If there even was any message in the first place. O_o
