Right, we are only criticizing because we feel (or at least I feel) that it is already a decent game with the potential to be a fantastic game, with more polish and some important tweaks.

@Hakea:
Again, I agree with you on many points:
skills, community, locations, stupid crates...
The difference might be that I am still hopefull Larian will deliver a great game in the end. Keep in mind that this is only an alpha, not even a beta. So I suppose you are as frustrated as many of us, by the lack of scope and new game elements. I think they fix the biggest issues in the alpha, and will use the beta to fine tune the system based on the whole game, not just boring Cyseal.
And then, I am hopefull the editor will allow us to craft the world and features we like if they don't.
Keep hope indeed. We all want to watch this game soar instead of fry...
