Friend of mine received the game as a gift (it'll be a bit before I get it for myself, sadly). Had some issues creating a character, seems things look different "live" than in the canned creator area? But overall they're quite pleased, especially since they play a tiefling in my home game.
They reported a really weird bug though, one I'm not sure how to explain: with some save files, loading in, you'll just see...nothing. Just the floor. Everything else loads in real slow-like? Sometimes taking more than a minute to fully bring everything up, or something like that. Perhaps I'll have them stream it over Discord so I can see what loading looks like.

Could be a bug or it could be they have it installed on an HDD, because that's one way it can look if you're loading from an HDD or other very slow storage. There is a graphics option for HDDs which claims to improve this. As I noted I've also found mine runs better and weirdly, loads slightly faster on Vulkan rather than DX11 (though I see Vsync/VRR does work on DX11 but not Vulkan).
One interesting thing I'm noticing is that having now left the bits of Act 1 I was familiar with I'm suddenly getting that very exciting and very distinctive "CRPG vibe", where there's always something to discover, and everything is more intriguing.

I had to look it up so no points for me but that's awesome and he has that look!

Yeah, I get the same thing - lots of elements take time to pop in after loading the game. Loading a save in the Blighted Village it was basically just an open plaza until things popped in, from carts up to entire buildings. I just let it get through it before I try to do anything.

Looking sharp. I'm eager to get out of the EA zone myself but I'm gun shy after Wrath of the Righteous and don't want to miss anything.

I read yesterday that latest news is September.
Meanwhile, me just sitting here waiting for them to release the mac version…

Having since asked--they have an M.2 drive. So I'm really not sure how to explain it!
Excellent! I look forward to feeling it myself. Reminds me of my first time playing KotOR...
Very nice. Can't wait to see actual dragonborn in a game for the first time!

Yeah, I saw September 6th thrown out as a possible release date. Not sure how I'll split my time between this and Starfield if that's the case. Good problems to have I suppose.

My Seldarine Drow Bard. With the same piercings even,
.I've encountered the first major bug. After defeating the hag, the victims were still enchanted and she was still commenting on their predicaments. I think it's because I had non-lethal damage enabled and was only giving her the killing blow after the fight.
