Nicou,
I think Larian does a pretty good job of communicating. I think the Panel From Hell's have been great and people who expect answers on things like companion information are kind of being dorks. I also think having to address every fan theory about if an event will happen is also goofy. Getting "hyped" for events and announcements is something that happens in almost every gaming community - in my opinion that is part of the fun of discussing/following video games before they come out. Compared to any other game that I have followed before release I think Larian has done the best job communicating and providing a quality fan experience (even though the Panel From Hell events can be dorky sometimes I still like them! Haha)
That being said my feedback is that there have been several outstanding community questions that seem centered around basic functionality in the game that have been discussed for about two years or so. These are the items I think it would be awesome if Larian would address via the forums or social media. Some examples of this would be (These aren't the items I'd ask about - just the primary ones I have seen in the community):
Reaction System: The elephant in the room with this game. It seems like the vast majority of the community would like to know if this is being worked on, revamped, etc. I think it would go a long way to either just say yes or no and tell everyone more information is or is not coming on this.
Shove: A lot of people really don't like the shove mechanic and have stated it repeatedly. Is this something that is remaining in the game or will it be modified?
Party Control: People seem to have issue with the chain system in place and would like to see something similar to the more old school RPGs where you can just click and drag to highlight your team - stuff like that. Is this something that is being worked on or is this system settled?
Six Party Members: This is one I actually hope doesn't get implemented - I like the four party team. But a lot of people seem to be asking this. Will there be an option to have six party members? If not, even if announced I see no harm in once and a while reminding the community that this has been decided.I don't know if you are given this information or even if you are - if you are allowed to tell us. I think the snarky comments toward you are pretty crappy without knowing that in the first place is pretty messed up. But if you can relay information to the higher ups who decide that kind of thing, that is what I'd tell them. I know you don't want to reveal changes on the forums themselves - Larian wants them to be major announcements. But I don't think it spoils any of the hype or anticipation if you just hop on from time to time and say "We are looking into that one, for sure!" or "Currently this is a settled system - the devs are not looking at changing this but we'd love to keep hearing everyone's thoughts on it!".
