Only that the time pressure is something that Larian is responsibility for. They set the scope of the project and the deadline, they should have a good idea about what they can handle and what not. And ultimately, if you publish a story driven crpg, make the story and the character interaction your priority (not the planned release date and not the percentage of players who do or do not chose to use the tadpole powers for example). Don't release it until both are satisfactory and sufficiently bug free (give your writers a veto right on that)
If the rumors are true and they rushed an incomplete game out the door (knowing full well how much of a mess act 3 is + companions don't even have any ending at all) just to get in front of Starfield, that's just laughable, shortsighted, and reeks of incompetent leadership.
Hey, if they publish a definitive edition a year from now... and they supply it For FREE to everyone who purchased the game, then sure... they'll get some marginal credibility back for that. It must be for free, because the deliverance of these elements will make the game an actually complete product, which is what folks paid for in the first place. A roleplaying game with a biblical plague worth of bugs, broken and missing quests, and completely missing and/or incomplete endings is not a complete product.
Completely agree. What we have now is not a full game. We have 2/3 of a game. I REALLY wish I would have stopped playing after act 2.
But I really do think they'll do the DE for free. That's what they did for DOS2. So at least that's good.
