I have to say I don't get this "Act 1 so much better than the others" meme.I thought Driftwood and Arx were very good. I thought Wrecker's Cave surpassed pretty much any other level in the game. Only Bloodmoon Island and Nameless Isle felt slightly below par for me.
Maybe it's 'cos Fort Joy is so much more difficult without tools and trying to get to grips with the gameplay mechanics and not really knowing what's going on makes it feel that much more intense.
Perhaps the EA made Fort Joy just too good for the game's good. In the sense that if the beginning of any game is that good, where the hell do you go from there?
