i think i know the cause of the delay... it all boils down to $$$$..
i have already wasted 50 bucks on this game.. how about all of us chip in 10-20 bucks to speed up the process.. think of it that DD is a shareware.. an incomplete shareware.. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
I think that's a bit harsh on the team that made such a great game. Are you currently unable to play/finish the game? I have not had any problems other than a few broken quests.
If you have wasted 50$ already maybe you should just return the game, it might make you feel better. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
I'm sure a new patch will take some time to throughly test.
Are you having some specific problem you are unable to proceed in the game with?
