Hi Larian,
I would like to know whether feedback on the game is still sought.
On the one hand, it looks unlikely that you are is still seeking feedback.
During Panel From Hell 6 (for Patch 8), you announced that you were in the final stretch and the game was getting feature-complete. This led many players to wonder whether that means the feedback collection phase was over. However, it was later clarified, in an indirect fashion yet through a trusted source, that feedback was still activelty sought.
But during Panel From Hell 7 (for Patch 9), you announced that there would be no new Patch. Since you had had the time to get a new round feedback after the release of Patch 8, and since no new gameplay experience would arise without a new Patch, this kind of implied that feedback was no longer sought.
And with the release date set for early August now, it also seems highly unlikely that you are keen to gather any further feedback on BG3.
On the other hand, well, it might look as if feedback i still sought.
I mean, you haven't announced that feedback was longer sought. Which may (or may not) mean that feedback is still sought.
Also, a feedback request was made about doing a Community Update when the end of Early Access would be near and the time for feedback would be over. If that suggestion was taken on board, then, since there hasn't been any message in recent Community Updates about the end of feedback, it would mean that feedback is still sought.
So it would be nice if you could let me (/us players) know if feedback is still sought. And if so, what kind of feedback, about what, to what end, etc. (I can imagine that you will monitor the feedback post-release, as you continue to update and support the game for a while. And even in the event where no expansion will ever be released, there might still be a Definitive Edition. This will no longer be EA and EA feedback, but instead it would be a different kind of feedback, for a different end.)
For context, personally,, I'm debating whether I should try to finish all the feedback projects that stand unfinished on my computer, or perhaps just some of them, or perhaps in fact none of them.
In particular, there is some big feedback compilation that I was wroking on last year, at least from July to October. This was stopped by a long bout of low motivation, so I only went back to it a bit in May. I currently don't have access to my files, due to computer issues, but I have decent hope of being able to regain access to them soon. And when that occurs, I'm considering finishing at least this feedback project. I may still end up not finishing it, despite learning that feedback is still sought. Like I may end up finishing it, because I like finishing what I started, despite learning that feedback is no longer sought. Or anything in between. I just feel it would be good to know, so that I can make better-informed decisions.
