Okay, this will be controversial but I’m starting to think the devs need to put in a mandatory save wipe with every major update to keep people from expecting more and more content drip fed to them while the game is in development. Baldurs Gate 3 did it and after a while it was just the norm. Apparently there’s a subset of NRFTW players that expect the full game to be released slowly. Personally, why would you want that? They should give you a first 10 - 20 hours of play, then something to do that isn’t repetitive (The Crucible) and that’s it. If they need to stop people from expecting more, put in save wipes with each new major patch. Enough is enough and this will also help the review bombing. My two cents…
Ultimately people will review as they see fit. It might not be a bad idea to attempt at cementing the idea this is Early Access and content will not drop as fast as they would like.
