I'm with OP on this. Join the sorc fan club y'all!

I do want to see Larian deal with the fundamental game mechanics like combat, conversations, inventory an ui etc, making changes based on player feedback, first though,, before adding more playable content, as doing it the otherway around sends the signal they are happy with the current state of the game and intend to move forward with the design in place. I'm actually getting my hope up somewhat that the current silence from the devs means they are making major changes already.
