I’m actually really down about this. I loved early access. I loved Act 1 start to finish. There were a lot of things not in the game that I wished there were (quality banter), but the rest was so good. I really want to like the game. But the limited character development, narrative, and scope of Act 2 was a turn-off, however excellent the ambience and combat encounters.
Now that I’m in Act 3, cracks are beginning to show. There’s so little interactivity or reactivity for my companions or decisions, respectively. The exploration leads to barren zones like the “passageway,” or tunnels in Rivington. Features that were important in Act 1, like Speak with Dead, are now useless. The narrative slowly falls apart into an uninteresting mass.
How can something that started so well fall apart so easily? Why can the rest of the game not be like Act 1? I’m losing motivation to continue playing. This sucks.
