Having done a few playthroughs here are some thoughts on Act 3.

Act 3 should have been split into 3 parts, act 3 could have been kill one of the two, Act 4 kill the other, Act 5 kill the 'Absolute' (with the side quests still being available up to the end of Act 4)

Breaking it down like this would have fitted the way the narrative developed in Act 2 where you killing the other one draws it to a close. This would have also presented the opportunity for the game to make more of the fact that you've killed the other big baddies e.g. a campfire scene similar to the Grove one. At the moment killing one of the other two feels like it has the same impact on your party as finding out what's been eating the pigeons. Also the big companion choices feel somewhat underplayed - oh and for gods sake let us hug Shadow during her scene.

Separate Acts would also have lead to more 'romance' interactions as it currently feels like the all important bond you build with another character is almost forgotten in Act 3. The romance interactions wouldn't, of course, need to be scenes of intimacy but they could show the ever growing bond.

Another advantage would be that the 3rd act wouldn't feel quite as sprawling.

Well i actually beleave that yu are not wrong in many things yu say..
i already beat the game 7 times Try all companions and possibilities so far..
i even found some cool stuff that probably nobody even ever tried.. like Take Halsin out on Act 1 after saving him..
But for this to Work the Secret is Khaga.. yu have to Kill her first then the Ritual will stop..
Maybe yu are even able to go to Rosymon after this.. i just never tested.
so killing him dosent matter anymore becouse even if he die nobody will be send out the grove..
But For me the Problem its not actually Act 3 is the ENDINGS>>
for me the Only Worth and enjoyable ending i had was the DURGE or Evil ones..
alll the hero endings Sucks and felt Empty like anything i did during the game really Matters
FELT like Mass Effect 3 for me all over again the Hero Ending.. and thats kinda destroy totally my will to see then again.
in My last 3 games i just Stop before taking the Boat.. so donsent matter whent to the trouble to kill that thing again.. i already know that it sucks.RS
BTW sorry for the Poor english im still trying my best thats not my main language sometimes get a little bit hard to explain my self in a proper way..
