Kuboxy I looked in plugins to add speed-up for my own sake and found there is already one. Hold Shift to fast-forward combat animations.
There are many bugs. There are unavoidable soft locks, hard locks, skills not working right.
Piracy is inevitable but it's only really bad when the first impression with pirate community is so bad. Indie creators live and die by word of mouth. You can already see people in this thread complaining about the game and about Sierra doing two projects at once. And you can already see the negative ratings on this thread - do you think the reviewers will be kind enough to update those if the game improves? I wouldn't bet any money on it, that's for sure.

Edit: I made a little patch for people tired of the combat. It turns the "Order of Tales Insignia" into an instant win item. You get this item after the Bleak area. Put the patch in the data folder and overwrite the existing Items.json
