To be completely fair, this is not a small update. It's just that this time Cyan has decided to make it very variable for a more customisable experience. A feature that was highly praised in previous updates (such as the beach contest where you could choose Emelie's outfit). This time it's even better, just look at the sheer number of files and folders in the "Chapter 8" folder in the game directory. By that measure, it's actually a pretty big update. It's just that most players choose one path and that's it. There's more content for the other paths. Basically, it's almost a Witcher 2 situation where they made two different paths in the second half of the game, which resulted in the game being quite short if you only play it once. So I guess after those complaints, the next update won't have nearly as many options and will be more linear and straightforward. But it will be longer, yes.
