Yeah and you almost lost your entire company trying to please shareholders that don’t even know what industry you’re in.

Next time, finish your game, then release it. I promise you, if you put out a game on the same level of polish as BG3, your stock will go up.

Okay but they didnt really add anything meaningful in that time other than the paid DLC, which was still pretty meh. The world is still weirdly barren and outside the unimpactful sidequests their’s very little to do and no realy incentive to do anything.

Sure. They didn’t completely rework multiple core systems, improve performance, or anything for people who didn’t buy the dlc. Same exact thing it was when it released. /s

What core systems did they rework? the only one I can think of is they changed how police spawn.

Police spawning. The entire akill tree. Wardrobe, divorcing the armor stats from appearance. It’s a pretty drastically different game without the DLC from the product it was at launch.

That’s just not a true statement. The 2.0 update, DLC, and 2.1 updates added an immense amount of stuff.

I already mentioned the DLC but what noteworthy stuff did the other updates add?

1.6 and 1.7 were huge steps too, 1.7 with the five most popular mods resembled the current product pretty closely but there were drones.

It was so painful to play through. So medium and bland

That’s arguably one of the few things that was fine at launch

Fine, sure, but IIRC they promised branching storyline with meaningful choices, but every review I’ve seen about the story claims it’s very linear and the choices that do exist aren’t particularly meaningful, at least in the context of branching storylines.

That’s fair, all choices merge back into three our four endings iirc, so yeah the meaningful choices part does fall flat on its face.
