Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General 2 year EA ANNIVERSARY event? (OCTOBER 6)

Well ...
To be fair, even if we ignore COVID (wich we shouldnt) ... Larian never actualy promised any length of EA as far as i know ...
So, basicaly even if it would take two more years ... so what?

There is saying in Czech:
Kdo chce psa bít, hůl si najde. > Whoever wants to beat a dog will find a stick.

So lets face it, the same amount of people (maybe even the same individuals) who are complainging about legnth of EA would be complaining about something else, if it would be shorter ...
Most likely things that would feel rushed, or unfinished.

Dont take me wrong, im also frustrated that we dont get some more often updates (even tho weekly seems kinda extreme) ... or AT THE VERY LEAST some official statement about most commonly repeated topics here (wich is also something we are asking for 2 years, and can be done by litteraly less than 30 minutes) ...
Completely agree with PrivateRaccoon ... Larian knew about this event and this topic long enough in advance to just let one of their Community Managers simply write here "nothing planned from our side, calm your horses" ... it would litteraly take 7 seconds of their time. :-/
So i just cant call it anything but an absolute failure. :-/

But even that dont change the fact that EA had its purpose, and its fulfilling it ... sadly we can no longer "try" patch 1 ... thanks to Larian clever housecleaning. -_-
But videos are still out there on youtube.
Is it long? Yes ...
Is it longer than it was supposed to be? No ...
Is it longer than it should be? Nobody can say but Swen, and he is not telling ...

All nice images.
But if you remember one of first gameplay demo, even before Larian started EA, there was completely different loading screens, wich by the way were actualy Landscapes and Places.

See here, right at the start:
(Second set of pictures is at 7:28)


I allways presumed that they decided to switch into curent set of pictures to avoid spoilers.
I also think that i hear Swen confrim this somewhere, but dont really know where or if i dont just mess things ... so, dont take this as confrimation please.
