I don’t understand the love Act 2 gets.
I think Act 2 is great so far (almost finished it)!
Things I love:
Before I rip into it, let me also mentioned things I really liked about act2:
- mountain pass area, temple and Gith crèche - the latter needs some work, but I really liked the content there and story behind it
- moonrise tower - infiltrating it for the first time, prison area, and the finale of act2 I thought were all pretty cool
The rest I did not care for. I think a more combat/dungeon focused chapter is a good concept, sandwiched between what’s seems like very social acts. The area didn’t grab me, though. Most of the map is the shadow fog thing, which becomes almost immediately irrelevant. Most of the acts revolves around backstory to a character we barely get to interact with. Temple of Shar was fine. I don’t quite know why Larian likes to make their temples look like alien starships (I remember it being a thing in D:OS2) but that dungeon just didn’t have much personality to me.
I don’t quite know what the purpose of Thorms relatives was. Was there a reason to find them? I run into all 3 of them before ever reaching moonrise, so perhaps there is a connection that I missed.
