Regarding the pacing: Have you played Starcraft 2? The pacing in DC is not that much faster.
I did, mastery and insane included. And as non-RTS player I take only extraordinary ones. And TBH.. DC won't beat SC2, not in RTS, not in story, not in multiplayer. That's my point. Why even try? Why not make a game that has no competition instead?
It's just a "secret" wish
Larian means RPG for me.
