My other fear is Larian is aware of what I just wrote and has decided not to reveal level 5 because the game is broken due to all their homebrew rules. That concerns me that there’s a lot of things still untested and unbalanced which means the game is nowhere close to completion and Larian may just push it forward anyways since they can’t stave off launch forever.
This is my biggest fear as well. I am afraid they know combat, abilities, spells, and feats are broken come level 5 and higher with their current homebrew rules, that's why they limited it to lvl 4 so they have more time the tweak/change all the classes/abilities/feats/spells to feel more "flashy/fun" and/or still feel like a progress in power.
EDIT:
Of course they most probably know what their changes entail and mean for stuff still to implement, e.g. Smite, Reckless Attack, Sharpshooter, War caster, etc., I just don't like the idea of everything changed and then be ridiculously out of balance/not interacting anymore.
And that it feels like a linear, small world with only a handful of rather small zones we visit one after another like walking through an amusement park, not like a grand, epic journey.
