Honestly, while Act 1 full release is "fine," i actually preferred the writing/atmosphere/characters of the EA version by a pretty wide margin. The full release feels like a downgrade outside of bug fixes and a few extra classes.
I'd love to see the EA version playable again. With the state of Act 3 on top of the totally different tone, no consequences for tadpole use, etc, I'd actually just prefer a few more playthroughs of that rather than the full release. I don't like the new "power fantasy" angle; I want to play the version where feasting on tadpoles is actively a bad idea.
It feels like a totally different and inferior experience now.
