I do think people are a bit hard on Swen and Larian. I mean, I want more D&D 5e rules and stats, party of 6 and Day/Night, etc. But, ultimately, BG3 is a great game. It's fun, full of intricate detail and is shaping up to be amazing.
Something else I recently considered. This game is HUGE already. It is taxing my computer to play Grymforge. If they make it too much more awesome, it might cause lower end computers to start crashing and thus make the game not playable. They have to balance awesome with player base capabilities. Not everyone has a super awesome graphics card with incredible processor.
What if, by adding weather effects, for example, they would then cut 20% of their player base who simply can't play it even on the lowest settings. THAT would suck more to me. I'd rather them keeping the game as is than have it fancier but unplayable.
