We all expect this game to change ...
Hells we even WANT it to change! That is entire reason we are here, writing our suggestion, offering our insight.
So ... duh. :-/
Change itself therefore logically isnt the point here.
But then they might miss an announcement
If i miss an announcement, its purely my fault ...
If there is none to begin with, i dont understand how can anyone wonder that i blame Larian.
tracked changes version of the FAQ could get messy.
Depends on how much they change secretly ...
The more announced and confirmed decision get changed, the more messy it can get ... but then also the more some kind of backtracking would be required.
If you are talking about format, rather than content ...
Marking text with
strike is exactly same amount of work as deleting it ...
And whwn there would be too much of it, so it start looking bad ... its nothing easier to add another post (its in read only section, so it cant dissapear in coments) labeled as ACTUALIZED FAQ.
And explaining every change and rethink could get really onerous, especially if you're still not sure exactly what the final decision will be, so I will happily wait for a "making of" deep-dive into the development process
.
I agree ...
But as far as i know no explanations were ever requested ... just some way to check what changed ... with offering specific suggestions on how to achieve it.
Of course if things changed to the extent that BG3 became a totally different game than what we'd been told it was when we started EA, tthen I'd take a different view. In that case then I absolutely would expect to be told (and the opportunity to get my money back)! But I don't think we're anywhere near the ballpark for that.
Me neither, thats why im not refunding ...
Also im not sure i can with 900+ hours spend. :-/
But just bcs things are not catastrophic yet, doesnt mean they are good.
As they say on every therapy, first step is admiting the problem ... and there is no shame in accepting help to find it.
PFH is getting close ... i call that great opourtunity to set things straight.

They don’t need to tell you whenever they change something.
What is point of this statement?
Its somehow bothering you that some people would like to know? O_o
And if so ... why?
Whether you can change out your party after act 1 will be known before the game releases.
One would asume ...
But how can you *know* ?
That’s what review builds are for.
Maybe ...
Presuming reviewer will receive his copy in advance enough to get in Act II. ... wich as we know (funily enough from FAQ) qoulsn be possible with regular game until final release date.
Presuming s/he will try it.
AND presuming s/he will mention it in that preview.
But just as with previous point, you dont *know* that.
Also let me ask counterquestion:
What is FAQ for? Especially FAQ where any given answer can be deleted at any time without a note, mention, log, or any other tool to backtrack if said aswer was just removed, or never existed in the first place?
Larian isn’t trying to hide anything.
This may be just language block ...
But making things dissapear, while not making any efort to mention they were removed ... that is litterally deffinitipn of hiding in my vocabulary. :-/
Maybe they just didn’t know whether or not we will be able to change out our party after Act 1. Swen addressed 11 issue in something. He said he heard the feedback on it but it would take a lot of work to change it because of how companions interact with quests. So it could be on the list of things Larian would like to do but is contingent on budget and time, as all things in video game development are. In that case, promising
IF that is the case ...
I cant imagine anything easier than simply say so.
that the party lock is gone is irresponsible, but saying that it is there is potentially inaccurate. So just deleting that part of the FAQ is acceptable.
[sarcasm]
If only there was some tool for us to explain things as they are ... i dunno ... something like language, or communication.
[/sarcasm]
Seriously tho ... let me try it ok?
[example]
Announcement about party lock.Another announcement that still apply.
DISCLAIMER: Answers that are striked out no longer apply, we took them under reconcideration and trying to figure out if or how to change them ... we will bring you more info as final decision will be made.
Thank you for your patience, Larian.[/example]
Well what would you say ... i made it!
Yes its this easy.
