I didn't know what I was paying for or signing up for with EA.
Early on, it became CLEAR the game was configuration to the lowest common denominator. A lot of eyes on this game were from Divinity players with little to no experience in 5e.
These people have been vocal about what they expect and want in a Larian title and make up a significant portion of the player base.
Larian sullied and diluted 5e to be inclusive to these players at the expense of 5e purists and Baldur's Gate legacy players.
The problem is: if you try to please everyone, you end up pleasing no one.
A lot of changes being made have upset people. Some things I do believe Larian always intended to do but held them out of EA because of backlash potential.
And now it's like, the game is already here now lolgetpwned.
Though these actions did not break any unofficial contract of EA, this isn't the first time Larian has sort of bait and switched.
Honestly, I'm exhausted and demoralized. Larian made the game they wanted to make.
I'm going to play it... eventually...and I'm sure I'll have a lot of criticism, but I've learned that the majority of people won't and that will be considered a success for them.
