I don’t understand the love Act 2 gets. I thought the character development for our companions and the supporting NPCs left much to be desired, I thought the exploration was limited, and I thought the Sharran Temple fights were uniformly disappointing. Also the plot felt convoluted.
I think Act 2 is great so far (almost finished it)!
Things I love:
- Great quest for Halsin, and he can finally join the party!
- I love the environmental theme of the Shadow Curse questline!
- Jaheira
- Quests and conversations with npcs from Act 1
- Creepy atmosphere is a good contrast to other areas
