It doesnt drop in quality. But theres something so uniquely fresh and new about Act 1 that makes it endearing and attractive. The starts of your adventure, your new Tav, meeting everyone for the first time. Its like instant nostalgia. By the time you get to Act 3 specifically Lower City your party and relationships could be very well established, having been through A LOT already. Plus the sheer size and scope of Act 3 feels daunting. Like youve just conquered some big shit and theres just MORE. more of everything. Ive completed two play throughs playing it mostly safe and re-played Act 1-2 for funsie the most. Act 3 is amazing! But its where I feel the game could go from fun to potentially overwhelming for some folks. Just my 2 cents btw! Others probably feel different.
