The good and very timely folks at Thieves-Guild have posted the chat log from tonight's developer interview.

(OEI_Ryan) Do you guys have the feeling too that the game was released a bit too soon. A lot of negativity is been seen on the official forums due to that so it seems?

(OEI_Ryan) A game, without a timeline will go on forever. We are happy with what was shipped but not as happy as we wanted everyone to be. We would have killed for more time, but sometimes things have to end whether we like it or not.

(OEI_Constant) There were many lessons to be learned from the development of NWN2. Fan reaction, both negative and positive, factors greatly into that. We see reactions to the game across the entire spectrum, but of course, as developers, we want the best for our baby. Certainly we hope to learn from our mistakes and setbacks during development to ensure that future titles are great shape upon release. We are proud of our game, but we also recognizes elements of it that could use improvement.

And further:

([OEI]RTaylor) Question: Do you have any plans for any A.I. improvements?

(OEI]RTaylor) Yes, the AI has been improved substantially. This change should be a part of the upcoming 1.05 patch. See the patch notes when it comes out for details, but both companion and monster AI will be substantially improved.
