To be honest, the game is still quite new, and as it is a rpg with massive quests, some problems can always occur in the beginning stages of the game.
Just like it was the same for Never Winter Nights, Diablo, Diablo 2 (where there still was a patch for after several years ...) and every other RPG ever created. For example the ultima series was very famed, but to be honest, they were games were you could do a LOT wrong ... and mess up the game.
Beyond is also a game where you can mess up, but still I think it's quite good up until the part where I've played it.

But yes, after playing Divine Divinity, Beyond doesn't really improve it ... it's just a little different with a twist too it. Just depends on what you personally like I guess, but it still is a good RPG.
