I'm going to trust Larian.
However I still have to question their decision to make so many changes to the EA build without giving us the opportunity to give them our feedback.
For me it's sad as I mainly used the EA to test different builds so I would know what I wanna play on release. And not have to reroll 20-30h into the game after finding out that my build isn't what I hoped for.
luckily i believe there will be a way to respec your character without having to completely restart in act 2.
If its gonna involve having to relearn all of your skills, it probably wont be worth it, especially considering the fact that they raised the price of skill books by a crazy amount.
