I think we who are criticl of this game need to accept something; there was never going to be a better versio nof this game [...] this is the best they're currently capable of, and we should give up hoping for better.
But they
did deliver great two and a half acts. What's irritating me is how they refuse to acknowledge the flaws of the main story and how they are defensive about the unfinished ending and an act 3 that's falling apart. It seems like as if they
could do better, but they don't
want to. Almost like saying, hey, we're in the silly FUN business, not in the serious ART business. As if one contradicts the other. As if they are fiercely protecting their very Larian identity.
They should be realizing that depriving the audience of a satisfying story ending ultimately causes a lot of fun to be sucked out of the game.
Now let
me be silly by saying: Larian needs to step tf up and start to take their shit more serious. But maybe in that sense you're right ghost, it's something they're just not able to.
