Questin here is:
What more do you want?
And please, keep in mind that we were never told we get another level, or another location ... on the contrary, we were told that EA will be strictly limited in both.
They said they would only release act 1 and as far as I'm aware that's all they said they would limit before they started selling the EA.
I know you're talking to another user, but I'm in the same boat as them. I haven't touched the game since update 1 or 2 because they don't really add anything of any substantial quality to continue playtesting. One class every 6 months just isn't enough, especially when one of the classes doesn't really add anything new to the game. It's not a matter of them promising anything. It's a matter of the EA being about feedback for the game and for bug testing and balancing, but that there's nothing new to really play with nor is there enough to warrant jumping back in without entirely killing any enthusiasm for the game--Which unfortunately due to their current "model" of no communication, small, very sparse updates and then biased interpretation of data has already killed my enthusiasm.
What more would I want? Actual communication, more frequent updates, updates with actual substance, the other classes and companions or content that will be in Act 1?
In my mind it's entirely ass-backwards (pardon me) to develop the rest of the game before getting that basic foundational content and act 1 out there IF they were at all interested in a legitimate EA as they claimed when they started it. Otherwise they'll have essentially laid down the carpet, floorboards and painted the walls before laying the concrete and installing the electrical and plumbing.
What happens now when work on all the other content is wrapping up and they finally get around to releasing the crap that should have been started with and general feedback is negative? Nothing. Nothing happens and nothing gets fixed. The final product releases and the companions will still be viewed negatively, content will be unbalanced, bugs will still be there and anything that could have very easily been tweaked or fixed that will impact the ENTIRE game will go unchanged.
I bought into the EA because of DOS2 and Larian's reputation afterwards, but I'll be damned if there wasn't a lot of stuff that could have been much, much better in that game and I'll be damned if I trust any video game studio or development team to actually deliver in this day and age. I said all this exact same stuff on the Bethesda forums for Fallout 4 and 76, as well as on the Cyberpunk forums and look how that all turned out. Blind faith in a company always leads to disappointment and a crappier product.
