That makes sense. What would you suggest in terms of continuing to complain? There's these forums, reddit, steam reviews...
A couple of points -- I'm not totally sure how IP law works in this situation, but they might have flexibility to develop the characters in the limited context in which they've already shown them in-game. That strikes me as a doable thing.
You have a GREAT point about the absence of a level editor. I was shocked when I heard that we could not edit text, but you're totally right that bg3 with a level editor is a product that would easily outcompete whatever wotc has cooking for its virtual tabletop. I know people used the Neverwinter map editor to make campaigns. You could make whole independent campaigns with the bg3 map. The player base is losing out on a lot here. There should be more outcry about the lack of in-game text editing and the absence of a level editor.
Every time they announce an update, it seems like they have a team at the company that is still enthusiastic enough to do more than initially said. I don't know what the issue is. But I've admired Baldur's Gate 1&2 for years, they were like the holy grail of gaming for me, and I can't accept their sequel being left in this sorry end state. These things matter, over time, and Larian really needs to fix the storyline and pacing mess in Act 3. They can't leave such a significant title in such a notably rushed final state. This is a question of what their legacy is going to be in five or ten years. And that's just narrative and characters, not to mention the unpolished feel of Act 3 thanks to all its glitches. It was different a year ago, when we all thought they would be fixed and that we had a complete edition to look forward to. Now it feels like I was sold a game that's still one third early access instead. And it's a MAJOR title.
