While I couldn't wait for this game to hit shelves, I share many of your views.
It simply wasn't done, and for UBI to decide to release it in the state it was in is totally unprofessional on thier part. I understand many companies are in the "release now, patch later" mindset, but - I'd like to see one that still delivers the goods on release date.
Blizzard comes to mind as a company who's games are usually pretty well polished on release date.
I am playing it, and having a good time with it, but there are a few things that, like you said, certainly detract from from the experience. SHIII was great, but only after the modders worked their magic and made the game what it could be.
I figure we get 3 more patches and then it's "done" (finished or not) as far as UBI is concerned.
I hope the modding community steps up and fixes this one too. (And so far, it's looking great....Thank you to all the modders).
