Thank you Niara, your response was very thoughtful and I genuinely appreciate the good will that's coming from you. It made me do a little introspection and come to the conclusion that I'm overreacting to this, but not for the reasons you propose. The honest truth is that I'm frustrated beyond belief with Larian by now, especially after this PFH.
Thanks for the measured response, I do appreciate it and it gives me a little more confidence that folks here can stay reasonable even when we may be on starkly different sides of a discussion. To be completely honest, Larian's juvenile approach to all layers of their game and their advertising of it, in the midst of their ongoingly clumsy systems, imprecise UI and controls, and their clearly still amatuerish choreography and cinematic animating are also big detractors for me. Everything is a joke to them, subtlety is an alien concept and player immersion is a distantly misunderstood tertiary concern, back seat to their desire for immediate instant-gratification silliness. To many people it is, genuinely, frustrating to see this continue to unfold when we were hoping for something more - even knowing in advance that this is their usual MO.
