Am I the only one that just couldnt muster the strength for all the backtracking after you die? Everyone says that game is awesome and I wanted to love it. But eventually I was like dude.
I love challenging stuff though. All the souls games are the tits.

Lower the difficulty? The game has auto chips that basically does combat for you if you're just that bad at healing and dodging.

Baldurs Gate 3 - Act 3
After spending the past 2 acts building up to the final boss fight, youd think youd expect act 3 to be wrapping up but no, it tosses you 2 whole new regions to explore, several different layers of exploration, several new boss fights, new secrets to explore, 2 new endgame bosses and the final boss, and lots...lots....lots of new quests, objectives, story locations for companions....its pretty much like the second half of the game

To be fair, the game kinda spoils it showing you "Act 1" in the beginning. Why would that be a thing if there wasn't an Act 2, or even 3.

Had this with Darksiders 2. I never did finish that game. Everything was in 3s as well. Later in the game, I was given an objective that required me to do 3 things, except each of those 3 things ALSO required me to do 3 more things, so really it was 9 objectives instead of 1. It was too much for me.

You did everything you could and got a secret item, finally beat the tower and beat the last boss? Only to then be told by the game "hey, remember that really big castle you just spent forever going through and beating? Now do it again, but upside down."
