Dear god, I hadn't checked any of the early DOS2 EA footage before, holly, it's an entirely different game compared to what we have now. I am legit impressed. This gives me hope that stuff will be dramatically changed by the time BG3 1.0 is here.
Most of the things that were added had nothing to do with feedback, they were just featured they were going to add regardless.
During DOS2 EA the forum was full of dozens of theads complaining about how the armour system felt bad and video gamey, yet that issue was unaddressed until Swen Vincke said in some post-release interview that it probably shouldn't have been added after all.
