Edited to remove reference to a post now deleted by user, but leaving the guidance below initially given in response to some of their points as it remains relevant

It is absolutely fine for someone to run a poll to get a sense of the opinions of the people on this forum. It’s clearly not going to be representative of fans as a whole, but that is okay.

It’s also fine for people who have not played the route to vote. We’ve all seen a lot of discussion here, and if people have formed a view of the relative merits of the positions based on that, or if they simply don’t want Larian to spend any more time on this and just to leave things in their current state, they are free to express that. Again, it will be clear to everyone that the poll isn’t limited to only people who will personally experience the content.

@illiaillas-san, it would probably have been better for you not to require a vote before viewing the results or else given “other” or “don’t care” options, but I don’t know of a way to change a poll once it is active. I would suggest changing the text to say something along the lines of “Please select the which of the following options comes *closest* to your view, or that you’d pick if they were the only available choices.”
