Raze -- yeah, I think that is true about people waiting till the last few months.
It's not just Larian, it's other companies too. One of the biggest issues I've had with continuity editing totally ruining a game was Myst 3. Nobody bothered to check the continuity of their actual puzzle solutions. It was so bad, that even their in game hints and the hint booklet were wrong about 3 major puzzles I could not figure out. Even after consulting the hint book, I had to figure them out on my own because my book was messed up!
oh well.
