I see a lot of complaints about the upper city being cut and hopefully being readded.
I don't see how this could reasonably happen. You already hit level cap going into Act III pretty quickly with a lot of remaining content. If they added the upper city, you'd spend way too long capped out, but if they raise the cap, it breaks the balance of the ending.
They could make it post-ending content,
but the city was heavily damaged in the ending, so existing assets would have to be changed. It also doesn't resolve that you can end the game controlling the brain and other massively altering finishes.
The only way would be to alter the approach to the ending if you do upper city content, but that is a lot of work and unlikely IMO.
I just don't see a path for this being re-added. IMO I'd much rather see Avernus, it seems more viable.
Well, yes, sad to see the game was frontloaded.
This is my biggest complaint with the game.
Act I is amazing, but Act II is _WAY_ too short. Not necessarily in length, but in the amount of available content and exp. They made a comment a few days ago saying that was by design, but the problem with that design philosophy is that it basically forces you to do everything in Act I so you are leveled appropriately for Act II and III. IMO this kills replayability, because every time you play a new run, you don't have much choice in skipping content in Act I or Act II. IMO you shouldn't have to repeat every quest and mission line every time solely to reach appropriate levels.
If you skip missions or content in Act I, there is no room for catchup in Act II and, again, forces you to do everything in Act II. It isn't until Act III where you get the chance to pick what content you want to do and skip some of the missions to reach level cap. If you reach Act III at too low of a level, there is no way of doing this either because you'd be way too low level. It really frontloads the game.
What's frustrating about this post and list is that it seems there was more for both Act I and II available, but it was cut and a lot of content was kept in Act III. I think it should have been more balanced out and spread out.
