I think the hearth and home update will make the game more robust and well rounded. Looking at the original road map it looks like the devs are looking to polish game mechanics and add some depth. If they keep at it, and I think they will, the finished product will be a completely different experience from the original EA release, in a good way. I wish it was already done, but I understand how reality works. Come back in 2 years, or don't. It doesn't really matter.
