But what this game has is mostly glitches, parts without cinematics or broken graphics, all that shouldn't be in the Early Access because we aren't here to report bugs, we are just here to talk about GAMEPLAY!!

I don't know the exact details, but I'm confident that Larian got more data in the first day of EA than in ALL OF THEIR QA. Probably even the first hours.

Yes, they could have spent another year testing things and making sure all permutations were tested, removing all the bugs and broken graphics and adding all the cutscenes.
Or they could do what they did, allowing us to play the game earlier and find all the bugs in a fraction of the time.
