The fact the studio was “elated” when he told them they are done with BG3 goes a long way to explaining why Act 3 is such a mess. People don’t suddenly burn out, sounds like the enthusiasm for the project drained away quite a while ago.
Even if what they come up with next sounds appealing I’m going to promise myself to swerve EA if they offer one. Not going down that road ever again.
I feel sorry for Larian if they burned out during development and I'm afraid, the obsessive fandom played a role in that, but in the end, here we are, fans, hoping for a finished game, a polished game and I really hope they are still motivated to bring the game to a successful end, namely adding at least a bit of the feedback fans gave within the last months and fixing the bugs.
To some degree fans also burned out I feel, they gave their thoughts in EA, wrote tons of feedback and there hasn't been a real statement for months. Same people still hope today that their work wasn't in vain.
