Sorry to say that OP, but even after a big content patch for Beta you still have same place-holder lines in dialogues that I hate with my guts and after I played through I can't remember any other story line but the main about the murder of Jake that I couldn't complete due to messy journal and impossible to find/get clues on how to proceed. The only thing I could do is gradually progress across the map and kill everything I could find whenever I was strong neigh and explore every corner of the map, because questing was completely broken at least for me and journal was completely useless.
To be honest I still don't understand how does jakes murder is related to me being some kind of a unique being in this world that everything ties to because I have to find certain things that make my "homestead" bigger and open portals that don't lead anywhere at the moment since we only have one map.
I also want to believe that final game is 4 times bigger as someone mentioned, otherwise it will end up being 10 hours long journey. I have to say though all the complaints aside the Beta that I played through captured my interest and kept me hooked until there was no enemy left on the beta map even though I couldn't complete 75% of the quests and wanted to burn my backpacks because of the mess of inventory that it currently is.
There are some promised fixes/adjustments though that bring some hope like voice overs and auto-sort button for inventory and some other things will be fixed most likely. So I am not fretting just yet and have big hopes that next time I play the game it will be one of the unforgettable experiences that BG series was. That's why I'll patiently wait and not gonna touch the game until maybe pre-release Beta if there will be such thing.
