Okay, but the fact that Larian no longer has the rights to the IP and has decided to move on from the game is entirely relevant to what areas can be changed. There have been specific criticisms and specific desires expressed in this thread.
Except this is irrelevant to actually providing constructive feedback.
This thread is based entirely on the non-constructive notion of simply trying to make Larian go back on their decision. Under the guise of "It's in their best interests (To cater specifically to me and my desires)"
There was little to do with actual tangible feedback (This came later, but is mired in the overall thread theme of "I dislike Larian's decision" and the entire discussion about Larians decision)
I don't see the point of mocking the OP. It's not "Larian is bad. Me no likey." It's "I disagree with Larian's decision to move on from the game at this time because I think the game needs improvement, but I love and am very passionate about the game they created so please don't turn this into a Larian hate thread. Be constructive with your criticism."
No, it is "Larian is bad. Me no likey"
It literally started as a Larian hate thread. The original post literally just hated on Larian for making a decision. The same poster has gone on to say that they dislike other Larian games and won't buy new Larian games.
The point for me is that the issues I have with the game can be addressed in a way Larian has done with their games in the past, but not if they have decided against it and are no longer legally able to do so. Threads only discussing what people would like to see without acknowledging the fact that it's not currently possible for Larian to address these things have become moot in a sense.
Except Larian isn't completely finished with the game. There's currently a Patch 7 being worked on (With a thread for feedback) and they're referencing future patches.
So there's still things they can and will be doing. Yet none of this thread is talking about what people would like to see in these patches. Instead it's all "Please Larian, go back on your decision!" which is completely non-constructive.
"Wanting Larian to go back on their decision" in no way equates to making them "slaves to BG3." Surely you can see how this is extremely hyperbolic and a serious leap.
It exactly equates.
Larian made the decision because THEY NO LONGER WISH TO WORK ON THE GAME.
Wanting Larian to go back on their decision and work on a game they DO NOT WISH TO WORK ON would make them slaves to it. Especially if people want them to continue doing free patches for it. Since this is them being OBLIGATED to work on the game despite what their lack of motivation (In terms of both passion and monetization) which is slavery.
And no one said they expect or want Larian to work on "that game and that game alone" at the expense of other games.
The OP did. They mentioned that they don't care about any other Larian titles and they only wish to see more BG3.
Also, the very nature of going back to make more major content for BG3 would be at the expense of their other titles, the ones they are moving on from BG3 to develop.
I openly expressed disappointment in Larian’s announcement of no new content, but was in no way engaging in non-constructive negativity, as you have been throughout the whole thread towards myself, other posters, and the developers.
Except you have. Read your original post. Most of it is simply griping about Larian's decision. This is entirely negative and non-constructive.
Also throughout the thread you've gone on about "How to change Larian's decision" which is again, non-constructive.
Very little of what you've done in the thread, has been about your so called goal to improve the game - Very little in the way of actual suggestions of what should be worked on in the last few patches.
Even in my original post I mentioned what I still wanted to see (fixes for the companions), yet you’ve reacted in much the same way as the negative redditors I mentioned, blowing up my words as if I was asking for Larian to remake the entire game from scratch and give it to me free of charge.
You mentioned 1 thing, which is more dialogue and scenes for several companions. A single piece of constructive feedback. Amid a giant non-constructive complaint about their decision.
I have not "Blown up your words" and I have not implied you wanted "Larian to remake the entire game from scratch". I've looked at your words exactly (Other people have implied such things - Mostly in response to Mels bringing up the major story and character writing flops)
Heck, I even gave you the benefit of the doubt and figured you may have simply been upset when you wrote the original post, hence it's lack of constructivity. Yet, instead of taking on board this, you instead act as if I'm attacking you or providing vitriol...
All I’ve ever been saying here is that I find it upsetting that there were just a few more things Larian could have done to improve the game, discussed what those were, and wondered why they would suddenly decide they didn’t want to pursue more updates after being so committed to making said updates in the past.
No, all you've been saying here, is that you dislike Larian's decision and want to find a way to make them reverse their decision.
Very little of what you've done here has been a discussion on what things Larian could (And still can) do to improve the game. Which is the point I raised and why I suggested a new thread that is detached from discussing Larian's decision, to ensure it is entirely focused on providing constructive feedback for Larian to utilize in their remaining patches.
Hence why there's so much "Off-topic" discussions around game development and Larian's decision - Because not only is your original post mostly about such things, but continued posts have been about the same topic. Since the thread itself (The title and original post) are so far removed from an actual discussion about what Larian can do to improve the game with constructive feedback.
