My issue with the statement that “things will come when they are ready” is that Larian are trying to have their cake and eat it.
On the surface, it’s a statement about Larian’s commitment to polish, but many systems and assets were released fairly rough. So “ready” doesn’t mean “done”, it means “Larian are ok with its state”.
I think of it as “it is ready to show general audience and get the feedback we are looking for”, and not “it’s ready to ship as a 1.0 mechanic”. I think it is a far assume that amount of development and polish they put into a feature they put into EA is far greater then what they use for prototyping and internal testing. But that is still just (hopefully!) a stepping stone toward 1.0, not an end goal.
Larian isn’t as “manoeuvrable” and responsive as let’s say Introversion, but I think it comes with a production budget and a sheer amount of people involved. It just not an “intimate” project and with that communication will understandably be more difficult.
