I can appreciate the risk of influencers getting too close to those they comment on, but also can’t see evidence of that in the Wolfheart vid shared. He says that his focus in that particular stream is features that may not be in the (development 1.0) version yet but it might still be possible to introduce, rather than bigger changes that, given where we are in the development cycle, Larian will already have made up their minds about and either built or decided not to incorporate. That seems to me to be a perfectly reasonable topic for a stream, and more likely to be effective in influencing development priorities in the final three months than mixing up this list of smallish QoL changes that could feasibly be added at this late stage with other bigger changes that we may want more but which Larian will already have made their decision whether to implement or not based on earlier feedback.
Personally, I’m still hoping that some of the more fundamental changes requested will be addressed in some fashion in the full release, but I also recognise that, if so, then that’s because Larian have already made them in their dev build and won’t be as a result of new feedback three months from go-live.
