Are the devs reading this forum? or everything we've said here is waste of time? 🤔
It's likely they're keeping tabs on the forum. Given that:
1) They implemented this subforum this early. When it would be filled with people's ideas and wishes for the next game given the lack of actual information about it to discuss.
2) Larian do entertain player feedback. It's the basis for their overall development. The whole "Early Access" releases are there to get player feedback to shape development and polish of Act 1. With post-release patches being driven by a lot of player feedback.
Of course, one does have to take this with a grain of salt. Just because they might look at the forum, it doesn't mean they will necessarily act upon any of the wishes people here may have. Since they still have their own vision for what the game will be, as well as however much development that's already been put into it.
