This man is out here digging. Someone stop him. Holy shit.
He got temp banned in a different thread and the mod made it explicitly clear that derails like this were why, so I don't think you'll need to worry on that front.

But they did the best with what they had and the story does pick up later. Moreover, the pacing at the very least is much better than it was in Kingmaker.
My view on the story is that it does what it does rather well. The real selling point is the interactions between the companions and supporting cast anyway. A fun party drastically elevates the experience, and I'm evidently not alone in the belief that WotR has among the best cast of party members in existence. DA:O for instance would have had naught more than a generic excuse plot at the end of the day if it weren't for Alistair, Morrigan, Leliana and company.

Saves will most definitely be wiped by full release. Or at least existing saves will be considered corrupted. Consider that even BG3 essentially wipes saves after almost every patch thus far, even though the opinions on the impact of each patch widely varies. I think the only cRPG in recent memory that didn't wipe saves was Solasta, and it's several magnitudes far smaller in scale than BG3 and WotR.
