Seems like 72-hour early access period is still a thing. Making it 31st of July?
I was wondering about that! It sounds that way, so that's even more exciting.
There's so much news to absorb here that it's going to take me a while. Plus it's time to dust off and start adding to and tweaking my spreadsheet of character concepts

.
Hopefully by the time I've done that these forums will have decided to wake up and I'll be able to catch up with everyone's impressions about today's news and discuss with you what it all means.
One random thing in the meantime. I'm probably reading too much into it, but I notice that at a few points the update says something will be available "at launch", which could mean no more than that it won't be released in a patch before then. But given we already knew that, might it instead mean that additional stuff might be developed and released
after launch ... ie that DLC adding more feats, races, classes, etc is a possibility? (I know some folk are DLC-sceptics, but personally I'd be stoked to hear that Larian were going to continue creating new content for the game post-release.)
