Eh. I think it's bad to generalize from the Halsin dissapointment to the rest of the game. The game got so much better after EA feedback.
Gale was miserable manipulator in EA that I took efforts to avoid. I kinda like him now.
It was really difficult to save the girl from Khaga's snake. Now most people can save Arabella
When you finished killing the paladins of tyr you wondered if you did the right thing - that encounter has been improved.
And I could list a dozen others.
To my mind Larian's mistake was misinterpreting the numbers they were getting. "no uses tadpole power" =/ make tadpole powers cost free. It's fun to resist temptation. Indeed what does resisting mean if you aren't tempted.
People didn't like Wyll =/ let's cut out half of Wyll's story so he says next to nothing . . .
Off topic but I am neither interested in Halsin nor am I offended by him. But that's always been the case - he never intrigued me the way he did others.
I didn't think, I had to write to my statement, that it was sarcasm, since it was so over the top. But to clarify: I was being sarcastic.
But I still think, that if Helia was scratched for Halsin, than it was a very bad change. But let's not make this thread anotehr 'Halsin is creepy' thread, we have enough of those. He was just brought in here, because it is possible, that he is the reason, Helia was scratched - possible, I don't know, if that was really the reason.
