Feels like Fort Joy was actually finished and the rest of the game isn't. (Even then there's quests in Fort Joy that you finish but they won't mark themselves as finished)
While at Fort Joy you gained a ton of new abilities (6 abilities or so per Tree, x2 since you were given access to 2 tiers by the end) and gear seemed to scale up slowly in damage and stats.
Then you get to Driftwood and aren't given any new abilities outside of 1 or 2 source abilities per tree. (Of which, most are so terrible they aren't even worth the AP cost let alone the source points) and the gear scales so terribly. For example, I have a level 14 Legendary Xbow that does about 50 base dmg and a lvl 15 Epic Xbow that does 100 base dmg. The damage literally doubled in 1 level. That's terrible scaling.
The gear in the driftwood area all suffers from this, with certain milestones in the gear level giving massive bonuses over the previous ones. (Almost all gear becomes way better at lvl 15 for example, with lvl 10-14 gear all being meh)
