However, a release will set hundreds of unpaid bughunters to work, allowing you to find bugs faster. Remember, the major bugs (apart from the bad A.I., and I think this may have been a design decision rather than a bug) weren't found until several months after release.

I'd like to think i'm not the only one who'd rather wait a few more months for the complete game than have ridiculous bugs in them, like RTW/M2TW or Gothic 3.
I quite agree, but R:TW had been in development for a long time and release had been delayed more than once if my memory serves me right. At one point the publisher is going to demand that they release it and start working on the next game.
