I mean Early Access started three years before the full release...stuff changes in that time and it's not unreasonable for Larian to put some red herrings in there on purpose to protect some of the main plot from being spoiled before launch even if they knew what they wanted to do for the final game with the character at the time.
I would accept such explanation IF they ever stated that EA story is intentionally altered and doesnt represent what we gonna have in final versio. preferably on main menu screen with big red letters, otherwise I was missled into underperfoming during my blind playthrough. Not to mention Im not obligated to seek for such information if it was intentionally different in EA to protect the real plot from leaking. As for now it feels more like cut content. Im more likely believe its cut content than gameplay mechanics which looks like it has drawbacks, but in reality it doesnt. Dont get me wrong, i merely wish what is best for the game and share my concerns. I do it not from ill intent or hate towards the game. It deserves more critic than it has, while it remains one of the best games in years.
