From Owlcats history with Kingmaker that is to be expected. It will probably take them about a year to fix some bugs then release an enhance edition while leaving all the bugs intact and move on to developing a new game with another stupid management system.
This is blatant misrepresentation. Owlcat is easily one of best studios out there in terms of their commitment to fixing their game. Kingmaker was essentially bug-free (and definitely game-stopping bug free) within about four months of launch. I play it all the time and there is not a single bug worth talking about in the game.
As for WotR, a lot of what I'm hearing about bugs comes across as silly whining. What the general consensus appears to be is that most of the bugs are very minor annoyances and nothing more than that. To the extent there are game-breaking bugs, and those do exist especially in the later chapters, Owlcat is being superb, as usual, in fixing them very fast.
Not from many remember. Till this day there are still many bugs in the TB mode which the support is basically is non existent in kingmaker. As for WotR some of the bugs make the game unplayable no minor annoyances. For example I have yet to run into any bug in BG3 and have not had any issues with the game. Does that mean that all the other post complaining about crashes are minor annoyances? Just because you are having a good experience does not mean everyone is. If Owlcat lowered the price from $114 then maybe they could have had more beta testers for their early access.
