The ending is incredibly disappointing when you consider the game has one of the best opening cinematics in recent years. I'm pretty optimistic they'll improve this in the future though, we just have no way of knowing when. As for Act 3, I never had a problem with it before Patch 4, no lag, just model glitches that span for 1-2 seconds and some conversations are cutting out now after updating. I wouldn't even consider it unplayable, it's just a minor annoyance compared to the smooth sailing that was Act 1 and Act 2. A shame this doesn't seem to be the universal experience.

The overall lack of communication is a major concern and it makes me question their capabilities in managing their game. Every patch seems to add another array of bugs for some people. I'm aware programming is a complex process but should it really take 4 patches and 10 hotfixes? That number is a testament to their efforts, but it's just getting sad now every time they come out with no major fixes/changes. The recent addition of Astarion's kissing animations (which is very arbitrary imo but I get that it appeals to a large part of the fanbase) is also bugged for certain body types, like I'm not sure they even bothered testing it before they released the hotfix. Just seems like they're doing a lousy job tbh.

At this point, I'm not sure a roadmap would even reveal anything about their plans, like I think they'd keep it vague to manage expectations. I guess it would be better than nothing sleep
