and the whole "larian listens to the fans too much" is partially correct, but i think it absolves larian of a little too much responsibility and places more blame on the fandom. toxic fans are everywhere, in every fandom, for every game, etc.

the real problem i believe is that the devs were already supposed to have a set-in-stone plan for the game, from start to finish. the fact that they kept changing things to satisfy people's kinks, even when it was irrational at many points, tells me that they had no fucking clue what they actually wanted to do with the game.

it also tells me their priorities were in all the wrong places because making the game sexy was more important than giving wyll a fleshed out story.

i cannot emphasize this enough: if you're going to shrink down content, to stay within your budget and prevent the game from getting too big, the final product is still supposed to make sense. the story needs to be cohesive. all (or at least most) loose ends should be tied up.

when it doesn't make sense, so much that a YEAR later you are still patch after patch tweaking up character plotlines, adding new dialogue, scenes, etc

it's a bad product. there was no point in releasing it the first time if you knew it wasn't READY. by all means bake your smaller pie – but get the ingredient proportions right lmao.

ngl I think I should get grabbed by the waist and kissed gently and then cuddled for several hours and talk about nerd things.
