Good to hear from you, Nicou.
If you have any questions, always feel free to reach out to us and we'll provide you with answers; if the information can be shared publicly of course.
On the subject of questions, well, I had at least one very explicit question which I asked you
in your introductory thread (and there were also a number of remarks which in theory could have been commented on, although, certainly, they were technically not questions). Naturally, the question went unanswered.
I would have been fine with a one-liner reply along the line of "we can't answer that question". It's strictly better than no reply.
In writing and posting
my question in your thread, I did cut off two other questions. Partly because my post was getting long, partly because I though I could always ask them later. And I did not ask them later because I saw my question not being answered, so it didn't lead me to think the others would meet a different fate.
More generally, and as I hope you'll understand, if one person asks a questions and gets ghosted (and if masses enquire about the next Patch/PFH, and get ghosted
en masse), it does not create a climate where people will naturally assume that the policy is indeed "feel free to reach out to us and we'll [try to] provide you with answers". This statement is certainly good to hear, but it's even better if it's matched by acts (and even better if a climate is installed where this is so obviously true that it doesn't even need to be said, I guess, but one step at a time).
In fact we collect the community's feedback very regularly to check that we have bugs smashed by our teams, features polished & prioritised depending on what you need the most, etc... so keep sending your feedback!
On the subject of feedback, as you have seen (both in your introductory thread, and in this one), there is a number of people who are not exactly convinced that it's still worth giving feedback.
I personally know that Larian has not announced the end of the feedback collection phase, but it's easy to understand why people would generally assume that posting feedback is useless. And perhaps not even collected anymore.
As I wrote in your thread, Salo made made one "thank you for your feedback" post to make feedback collection visible. And both Salo and you aren't exactly posting often around here. The Composer is not the official feedback collector, yet he did send this message more times than Larian. Also, even though he did not do so that frequently overall, the mere fact that he was hanging around here means that it was easy for players to put things together : "The Composer reads-and-collects feedback, plus The Composer is generally present around here, thus feedback is generally read-and-collected". In short, he single-handedly contributed more to making feedback collection visible than Larian did.
So, on the subject of feedback just like on the subject of questions, it's nice to see Larian "say the thing". But I think it would be even better to see Larian "do the thing".

Anyway, thanks for all those who have provided ideas/answers on the topic of this thread (and a second thank to those who forced themselves to remain on topic
).
I've been working on replying and commenting further, but I'm quite slow at it (also, there's a lot). I'll get there though.
