Well perhaps the game is too easy in some places (wouldnt agree it is too easy in ALL places though). Point is that the "got to finish this" or "let me try this again with a new character" is dependent on a feeling of upgrading the character (beyond just the skill points gained). By all means make it tougher if that is needed. However, having all the equipment you are going to use by the end of Act 2 sort of makes Act 3 and 4 pretty anticlimatic. Have now finished Act 3 and still using stuff I picked up in Act 2 because nothing better has shown up. Also there really isnt any point to a unique anything if it is worse than the non-uniques you can find or buy. If uniques cant be better than non-uniques, just drop the label and allow them to be sold.
It isnt fair or proper to make comparisons, but I cant help but point out that Diablo had plenty of more powerful stuff that could be found all the way from the very beginnng through Act 5 of Hell level. It can be done. Not asking for all the stuff Diablo had, this isnt that game after all, but better equipment showing up in later acts and uniques that are better than non-uniques can be done - and should be.
p.s. That last paragraph wasnt a "why cant you be Diablo" message. I loved Divine Divity when it came out and like this one a lot too.
