We discourage bumping threads on these forums. If folk no longer have new and different ideas they want to add to a thread, it's time to move on to another discussion. The existing thread will remain on the forum if anyone wants to refer back to it.
People are free to add new posts if there's something specific that they want to say on the topic, of course.
Thank you for your comment, and no problem moving forward. I could have just added some more comments instead to "add different ideas" but I'm more perplexed by the lack of any feedback from the actual Larian designers. Do they ever come to a thread to give their feedback on our feedback? This topic seems to be the most discussed and viewed/replied to in all the Suggestions & Feedback threads so it puzzles me regarding the lack of Larian engagement. Or do they just not engage in forums as a rule of thumb?
In my experience, it's very unlikely that someone from Larian will pop into this thread to comment directly on the issue.
However, I believe Larian does pay attention. I suspect they've heard this complaint, and that they may address it with action in a future patch, possibly by at least labeling dialogue options to make it clear that you might accidentally be turning Gale on. (I hope.)
That said, I do think folks should keep commenting, just to make it really clear that there's a serious issue.
