Well let's not jump to the most negative conclusions. Larian studios are very capable developers whom have proven to clearly listen to the suggestions of their fanbase.
As such, especially since Drath Malorn emphasizes how Larian has promoted the importance of having a balanced party, it doesn't seem entirely unreasonable that they would implement these conversational updates for the official release.
They`ll have to leave some surprises for us, right? We've already had the luxury of enjoying the game and contributing to the development with our opinions pre-launch for a very long time.
While hope is the fastest road to disappointment, we must accept this finite disappointment but never lose infinite hope :3
