There is a bit of anxiety that EA was just a kickstarter with a demo. Constructive feedback flooded Larian’s various forum tools, and it seems the majority was ignored.
Not to say it’s looking like a bad game lacking in ambition, but that the ambition may have inadequately leveraged player feedback and concerns.
Edit to Add:
For me, I can’t help but feel a twinge of sadness at Niara’s saying she is bitter. While I may not have agreed with everything she posted, the sheer amount of effort, passion, and care she put into her contributions was sometimes overwhelming. For a longtime forum contributor like that to walk away in sadness… well, it fills me with a sense of dread concerning player feedback and its perceived utility.
Not to say the forum is entitled to being heard, or that the playerbase ought to be obeyed, but I look around and I think, “What was all of this for?”
100%
I feel community forum feedback has been ignored apart from less floor effects and reaction larians staff seem more intrested in memes drawings and patting them selves on the back even if every one of us stopped posting i dont think Larian would do anything to try and communicate better directly with this forum, maybe ticktock or twitter has a better chance?
