Given that patch 9 has been announced as the last major update to EA, so we’re not now expecting any significant new content or changes to mechanics before release, we are now reliant on announcements and updates from Larian for any further information before we see the full game.
So my question is what do you really, really want to know before the game comes out, and what are you happy to be surprised by?
For myself, I want confirmation of the full list of playable races/subraces, classes/subclasses, backgrounds, level cap and whether multi-classing will be supported. That will allow me to while away many happy hours before release planning out custom characters, and enable me to get stuck into the game straight away when it comes out. The reason I prefer to know all of this before my first playthrough is because I’d like to make sure I have a roster of potential custom characters that covers all the races, classes and backgrounds as efficiently and effectively as possible.
For a similar reason, I’d love confirmation of any additional origin characters, so I don’t waste time designing a custom character that overlaps too much with one of them.
I would ideally like Larian to comment on whether they are planning any further significant changes to game mechanics, particularly ones that have attracted a lot of debate such as stealth.
Pretty much anything else I’m happy to be surprised by, including the full roster of party members, romance options, places we’re going to be able to visit, factions we can join and definitely the plot.
