It's a continuum, isn't it, from people who love everything about the game to those who are never going to like it? I certainly didn't have anyone specific in mind as being at either end of that, and in fact there might not be anyone right at either extreme. But my suggestion was that beyond a certain point on the bell curve, what some people want from the game might be so different from the game Larian want to create that there's no way of satisfying them without compromising their vision or changing their design or plan beyond what they would feel acceptable.

So, from that perspective, I wouldn't be surprised if Larian decided that trying to convert people who have no praise for the game might well be a lost cause and focused on making changes that people who liked other aspects of it wanted to see.

I would agree with this, but from my personal vantage point not one of the criticisms I've made of the game goes against Larian's vision for the game. Every single one of my issues could be positively addressed by Larian without the game being changed in any fundamental way.

Which would leave the only people left who they are not making (enough) change for as those who seem to have mainly negative impressions. My apologies if I misinterpreted your point.

Yes, correct. Obviously if someone is 100% positive then there's nothing to react to. So I also was speaking in terms of relativity: people who are mostly positive while having one or two criticisms versus someone like me who has a lot of criticisms.
