@TheRedQueen Thank you for sharing with the experience. I must say, PFH left me really disappointed and you have given me a decent amount of hope.
I'm glad I've helped I had a blast playing the game and saw some stuff in the presentations that really whetted my appetite for the full release. I didn't feel it came across as well in the PFH as in the earlier presentation I saw, but wasn't sure how much that was due to the technical issues that plagued the PFH, how much was that they tried to cram too much in, and how much was due to the fact that by that stage I'd had a pretty long day and my attention was starting to flag!
My overall impression from what I saw is that if someone wasn't already broadly positive about the game in EA then they're probably not going to suddenly become a convert. But if someone found stuff to enjoy about the EA experience but had issues and reservations with elements of the game, then the changes that have been made are on the whole improvements and show that Larian has been listening to EA feedback even if they've not completely overhauled, or changed, everything as a result of it.
In short, if you were looking forward to the game before this, then what I saw I think means that you would be justified in looking forward to it even more (as I certainly am!). But if you were already thinking it wasn't for you, then I didn't see anything that I would expect to completely change your mind about that.

I didn't see anything like this, though I agree it's sorely needed. I wouldn't swear there isn't more help there that I didn't see as I didn't spend as long at character creation or level up as I'd have liked, but there was certainly nothing jumping out at me.
"You may call it 'nonsense' if you like, but I've heard nonsense, compared with which that would be as sensible as a dictionary!"
