Hello there, first post here, and I know it's the kind of "duh stupid asking if the game's good on the game's subreddit!", but hey, look, no one's perfect.

I've been looking forward for SAND for a long time now, been watching streams and videos for a while (basically since early July) and the game seems exactly like what I'm looking forward for, both in design, in gameplay...

However, when I wanted to take a closer look, I've seen many issues regarding unfair/unbalanced matchmaking (especially solo players being put against squads), cheating and lots of extraction-camping. It really put me off alongside a few friends I've been discussing the game to.

So have there been meaningful improvements on those issues that the game is recommendable? Or is the game dead?

My brother finally is about to give a crack at BG3 and asked me to play with him. However, I fondly remember one of my main gripes with the game being the inability for party members to have their own options in dialogue. Has there been a mod remedying to this since?

Just in case I'm not clear enough: I'm looking for a mod that would allow, for example, a Druid Gith and a Bard Tiefling to have both their options available for a same dialogue at the same time at, let's say, the Emerald Grove with Kagha to be able to decide which we'd find most fitting, be it listed as a whole or by being able to make the game swap who is the main character in dialogue.

Thanks in advance!
