Alright,from the top!
As for them bringing in new things within 2 weeks is false. The EA we have been given is only the alpha, but that doesn't mean all this stuff will just be added on release. All that stuff is already in the "beta" version which is being tested in house and with other beta testers and etc. So all this stuff is not new and will not be "incomplete" or w/e you want to call it. All the stuff will be tested and balanced for release, even the things not available to us in "Alpha".
As for Voice overs, just read what DeadKnight said. ^
There are "Waypoints" that are added to the game telling you where to go. But that's not in all the quests (from what i saw, but i could be remembering it wrong). I don't really consider that handholding anyway. That's just the game telling you where the quest is, hand holding would be like the game is making everything too easy (imo). The combat and the difficulty is still there (unless ur ya know, gonna be the 1% of the game players who will find the cheesiest of the strats to use and just abuse it).
