I am more and more getting the impression that they made wide-sweeping changes that were tested in only a very narrow set of scenarios.

And when even those narrow set of scenarios had issues (everything that was pointed out in the Dawntrail benchmark character creator), the response was to shift the goalposts. Instead of fixing the shaders to act properly in such and such lighting conditions, they changed the lighting of the character creator scenes instead. That's the common mistake of fixing the symptoms and not the causes.

That sort of attitude in addressing feedback doesn't leave me exactly hopeful for a proper follow-up
