Yeah, I was hoping for a patch this week but like others I'd rather have a game that lives up to the BG2 legacy than one that is rushed out. I'm fine with 2 years or more.

Ideally I'd like to see much or even most of the game come out in EA and for launch to include the endgame.

Which I don't think is impossible -- Larian is getting free bug hunting from EA buyers and it has an add content to keep us playing.
