This is a genuine question to everyone in the thread here (not a loaded one). Do you feel that Larian cares about our concerns on this matter (or any matter like this)? I just realized going through these threads there doesn't appear to be a lick of acknowledgement from Swen and his team about this stuff.
Dos2 DE gives me hope, that they could do something with Karlach and improve the whole game in overall, especially act3. If they'll add removed content back, update companions content and so on, they can release DE and make again a fortune.
On the other hand, game is released, playable from start to the end and extremely successful, so they can only maintain it by patches and move on to the next project.
