They have little to lose by simply communicating with us. All the more so because final release will reveal these things to us anyway. Only difference being that people will be a lot more angry if they've been led to believe that there's a slight possibility that their pet peeve or request will make it into the game. Communicating now that certain things wont change will only hasten the process of anger-denial-acceptance and refocus the creative energy here to topics where we could actually contribute. Such a waste. Lets see if they manage to move a bit in the right direction in terms of communication this PFH.
Amen ! I've been saying that a couple of times, and it still leaves me a bit incredulous when people say "Larian should not give answers because then people would be disappointed". People will be disappointed, at some point. Because it will become known, at some point, that feature X didn't improve/change. It's just probably better to have that point be now, rather than when the game releases and everyone rates it on Steam and Metacritic.
