There should NOT be this many bugs. Well, unless 1C fired all the previous game's programmers and replaced them with random people they hired on the street. Who knows... in Russia, anything can happen. Maybe they are paid in vodka?

My hypothesis, while the game is similar, they didn't use the same hardened code as Crossworlds.
They added a lot of new things but I guess their code was not that modular and it caused a lot of grief (e.g. cold damage type).
Old fixes were not retroactively applied due to the new direction for the game (notice, rune mages are completely revised, a lot of little differences that seem more retroactive, like archdemons going back to 666 etc).
They probably found the problems to most of the quest code, but it required them to go back a lot, so they ended up breaking stuff.
Just my hypothesis!
