Yeah, I do agree that dropping the full act one in early July is too soon. It's long enough for players to potentially get bored waiting for the rest of the game. The current 72 hour plan is a good call since unless you straight up do nothing but play the game nonstop without eating or sleeping, 72 hours is long enough to maybe finish act one and then have like, a day's break before the full release. Maybe they could extend the full act one early access to a full week if they have the game ready by then, to counter Starfield as you said. But aside from that, I support your optimism! Showing al the character creation stuff would be awesome and would certainly invite me to return at least. Doubly so if they tweaked the proportions on halflings to make them less... off.
