Overall, good company. I wish they wouldn't have released BG3 in that state though, the game was very clearly still early access. All game developers should follow their philosophy though and the industry would be a better place.

    There was certainly some jank on release but I don't recall the game feeling unfinished. Are you referring to its initial early access release?

    No I am referring to it's second early access release. They are getting on top of it now with these huge patches, so that's good, but it's just stuff that should have existed anyway and bugs that shouldn't have existed, they could have cooked it for another year. But releasing it does allow a lot more eyes on things, plus it's getting paid for the QA instead of paying for it, but keeping it marked as early access until it's cleaned up would have been nice.

    I wouldn’t say “clearly still early access”, but it does lack the polish on a lot of small things.

    Like the fact on release, if you use Speak To Dead on Gortash, you get a completely unvoiced dialogue with Bane himself.
