So I have two things to add. First js that regardless of my feelings for this game, it's wrong to claim that there isn't a huge amount of love and passion infused into it.
Second, nothing I've seen makes me think Larian has included anything they didn't want to. It all lines up with their design philosophy of letting players pull off all kinds of silly cheese, leaving exploits in, etc. I think claiming Larian was pressured at all is just ignoring that this is the logical conclusion of Larian's prior style.
