Yes, I agree. An amazing game - and for early-access - a lot less fraught with issues and crash-bugs than I have seen with other early-access games.
Though I would love to see the larger 6-character group we had in BG1 & 2, I understand that the larger party at this early stage would just complicate things and make analysing and resolving bugs insanely messy. I would also love to see more AD&D 5e rules and structure of gameplay come in as well: die rolls (sometimes the 20 side does indeed appear to be more cosmetic than actual). Character generation is great and I love the variations allowed. Obviously, being an avid game player, that is completely not enough (we always want more lol). Doing it AD&D style with die rolls, alignment choice, etc would all be great. Of course, factoring in 'many more' different character faces and so on is likely less practical because of the use of actual poeple to model the expressions. With the old BG1 & 2 we just uploaded a JPG and that was that. Nowadays it might be a little harder.
In all, early-access is just that and comes with everything any early-access game comes with - sadly, some players don't grasp that they are never forced to buy a game, nor are they told it's a final release when it's early access. If I do not like a part finished game I won't buy it. If I do buy it I know I have to wait (somewhat patiently) for bug fixes and updates. I have to remember to report issues I have clearly and helpfully so that Devs can quickly work out what to do. Being aggressive and malign about the game after buying it seems disingenuous to me, or have I missed the point of 'Early Access'? Who knows/who cares. Loving the game and looking forward to any other updates that come out. Of course I will be impatient about waiting, but that's my issue and not anyone elses.
Good luck getting the bug fixes and any new stuff out Larian. And thanks @Solfalia for posting the personal story. Well, with the enormous amount of playability in the Early-Access version, I am sure there will be opportunity for many, many hours of play. If you think you have done it all, I am sure you will find that there are areas that you have not explored. For example, what is in the Harpy's Nest, the hidden chests dotted all over the place in the wilds, the different story paths if you play 'evil' or 'lawful' or 'chaotic'. Lots of fun.
