If proper reactions aren't making it in and Larian does the DOS2 thing with your party again, I'm 100% going to end up in the latter category.

And in this day and age where high quality games are coming out all the time, developers REALLY need to stop creating 80+ hour games with fake 'replay value'. The only game in recent memory I'd argue that had any reason to embrace the replay value concept was Pathfinder WotR, because each mythic path actually dramatically altered the course of the whole playthrough. More importantly, it revolved completely around PLAYER CHOICE, not some bullshit like killing off everyone that wasn't in your party after an arbitrary point like DOS2 did.

Yeah, I'm definitely not on board with arbitrarily wiping any members of the party you don't have with you. Imagine my surprise, going into DOS 2 blind, when that happened, after I broke my back getting all of the comps personal stuff done before we got on the ship. I was not a happy camper.
