Reddit is much closer to what me and my friends exprerienced. Among my 6 firends who played the game, the general consensus was that other than gamebreaking events like sudden disconnections, the game is pretty much perfect and just need the release content to be available. I don't remember anyone complaining about any of the common subject that this forum love to be angry about.
Also I don't think Larian owe anything more to people who talk a lot, it would be neat for them to thanks those who reported bugs.
