My English may be failing me. As far as I'm concerned.
I am ineed understand him in different vector, there's enough basis for that in the game, but I also consider his light sides, because "seducing" the dark side doesn't work without something ambiguous.
I prefer approach to a character like mybg3notebook do, but it's EA, if you're interested you can find tumblr.

It had to be frustrating to fall wholesale in love with a character, and then hit release with something that's several steps to the left of what you were enamored with, and now everyone is ranting and raving about something that's only loosely attached to the version you fell for, and half of them are rubbing the new canon in your face about how ACKSHULLY you're wrong and this is their character now. That's... very tough.

I understand.
Generally, EA is an incomplete version of the game, not a draft, at least that's what Larian stated (ugh I can't find that post, if I do I'll post it)
However, Wyll has changed. And people complain that it's written in a boring way.
I don't know if the fans influenced Larian or someone else who wanted a "mass product". Or Larian didn't have the time, or both. Oh, well.

I don't like this attitude towards EA, because in my opinion there are pure ideas there that probably remain, all, or half of them.

Are they really interested in exploring the character?
It's as if a person who studied Leonardo da Vinci's work, having found a draft or unfinished work said: "burn it, it's not a release".
