We've been over this many times in the past already. No, I have not played the game in EA. I don't play ANY games in EA, and I especially am not going to give a sale to a game with which I am huge problems. But as an academic I know well how to do research on something.
You've made claims about the game pushing you towards the evil path and Larian not wanting you to play good-aligned characters while not having experienced the game yourself? No wonder some of your takes felt so out of touch. Watching youtube videos and reading other people's opinions is no academic research, and definitely doesn't equate to first-hand experience.
Also when you say you're not going to give them a sale... Do you mean that you are not going to play the game or that you will be skipping the money part?
Larian themselves have made statements about trying to tempt players into a more evil playstyle, and I've had the EA since day 1. Now what? Going to move the goal posts and find something about my posting you don't like?
