They finally just let you put points into the primary attributes on level up! Hopefully they carry it through to the next (hopefully) Pillars of Eternity game, because I always took issue with the flat bonuses you got to offense and defense on each level up. Plus the rest of this looks good too.

Wasn't the budget 4.4 million to develop, and then distributed by Paradox?

Could be. If so, they did fantastic work for only $4.4M. The entire console business is in the process of being turned on its head, so nothing is predictable anymore, but if the world still worked now the way it did a few years ago, you'd eat the cost of making a must-play game knowing that you weren't going to make your money back just to get eyes on your brand and console. Two years ago, Microsoft might have agreed. Now it's anyone's guess.
