1. That EA is about half the size of the entire game.
2. The end of the story is bland and under whelming.
3. Monks are going to suck , because there a fast action bruce lee style fighter and we get turn based action , which will be lame. ( with that said I have hundreds of hours in game already and I have came around to the turn based... a bit. Monks though...
4. lastly the world is going to fall into ww3 and no one is going to be able to play because satellites and and internet are going down.

question 1 is definitely not the case as EA is half the size of the actual Act 1.
Ive been following this game since day one, (not saying I might have missed something , can you link where that may have been suggested?)
Well, we already know that 1 is mathematically unlikely as well as logically unlikely. Larian already said the Chapter 2 is the largest in the game in regards to my former statement, and in regards to the latter, they also told us we haven't seen everything in chapter 1 and that there will be plenty of surprises even for people who played the EA a ton.
2 is always possible. Landing endings, especially of complex narratives, is always difficult.
3, you never know, monks aren't all that great in the TT atm, but supposedly WoTC agrees and intends on reworking them, so maybe they fed some of that work to Larian in secret. Let's not forgot that Larian has already made some subtle changes to classes for the game to make them better, like with ranger and especially ranger companions.
I'd expect the same for monk. Let's not forgot that they're not simply quick bruce lee fighters any more either. With the way they can use 'monk weapons' now without real penalties, and with additional official flavoring of weapon types (like short swords), you could also play the ninja. Though it's resourced starved to all hell, you could also play avatar the last airbender char with way of the 4 elements.
I don't think it's a coincidence they saved it for last because it probably needed quite a bit of touch ups or perhaps new tech not yet in the game at the time.
