I am going to go into extremely optimistic territory.
Surprise patch 10 with Monk and all of the character creation options we're going to see in the full game, with a completely finalized act 1, and progress carrying over to the full game when that launches.
By the time that the PFH happens, it'll be about less than a month and a half from full launch. I would hope a fully finalized act 1 and all the classes and character creation options are ready by then. Larian will also really want to convince people to buy into the EA now by releasing the full act 1 with progress that carries over to the rest of the game, rather than losing a big chunk of the crowd waiting for the full launch to the Starfield hype.
It would be a dream come true if we could experiment with this to assemble our (custom) party before launch!
