Larian has a history of not being that damn incompetent but so far all they've managed is a decent first act. They haven't managed to get the ruleset sorted out, their approach has some tangible problems, their user interface is making naughties games look good, and their communication about what they want to do and how they want to do it and when they want to do it is pretty much zilch.
So am I worried? Do I have any bad tingling in my gut that the company that gave us toilet chain movement and drag-to-group and frustrating camp mechanics and incredibly unreliable party dialogue triggers and origin nonsense and three-quarterlings with giant heads and an aggressively cramped map that doesn't convey adventure or exploration or really any care or effort to build a nice word is going to phone it in a little too much? Yeah, I do.
What makes you think all they've managed is a first act? They told us that that was all they intended to share in EA, but we've no idea what how much progress has been made on things they don't intend to show us until the game is released.
Personally, I'm still as interested as I ever was, but I'm only playing the game if there's something specific, such as the new approach to camping, that I want to test. Not wanting to play the game constantly just means that I don't want the first act to feel stale when I start my first real playthrough.
