In general, any cut content that did not make it because of time and funds I would be glad to get at a later time. Let them work on the quality and patch it in sometime in the future.

I agree with previous commenters saying that people are less upset that the amount of content is less than expected, but more about how you can extremely easily tell that some quests were scrapped halfway through.

For example the Necromancy of Thay
immediately catches Astarions interest. You can get a cutscene of him reading it, but nothing happens further. On the table in the cellar where you find it, research notes mention "true resurrection" spell and how the book may have the answers. Then in Sorcerous Sundries vault you find a book which is supposed to help you decode the Necromancy, but nothing happens if you do read it? Kind of feels like curing Astarion was supposed to be an alternative ending for him.

Similarly with Karlach
her second engine fix is said to not be a cure and to find Dammon later. The entire problem is the metal making up the chamber runs too hot outside of hell. A steel watcher tells her that her engine is faulty and an obsolete model. Some steel watchers drop improved infernal iron which could easily be used as the material able to withstand the heat. Alternatively, if the steel watch engines were designed by Gondians, they could give her the upgrade, provided you rescue them.
