So we have a full crafting system in place - and the keyring is implemented. This is huge. This is the biggest reveal I have seen since yesterday!
Agreed ... Feels kinda weird they missed opourtunity to tell us huh?
The whole event felt like they were not so much telling to us, but to the band of bloggers and influencers from the media. It also felt like if the event was time pressured somehow.
They did have numerous technical issues.
Yes, it didn't seem to go quite as planned! And it was certainly a (panel from) hell of a lot longer than it was originally intended to be. I think the technical issues were at least partly responsible for the feeling of time pressure and chaos, but also just that Larian wanted to show so much and, in my view, they probably should have been a bit more focused. And there are perhaps some things that could have been left for a community update (I think an update might be a better place to cover something like crafting too, though admittedly it's not usually something that I am fussed about so I'd have been happy to just discover what was there on release!)
I will say that it didn't feel as someone who was there as though the content was aimed at the content creators who had been invited, mainly because they'd already had that other presentation I've mentioned earlier in the day and the opportunity to play the game for real. So while there was definitely stuff in the PFH that hadn't been covered earlier, a lot of the key stuff had been shared already. I think the the PFH genuinely was aimed at the people streaming it, though whether it hit the mark is another question!
