This thread is super interesting.
I have restarted my "official definitive all the cookies all the screenshots G-Durge" playthrough three times. Each time I feel the need to restart I'm a little ways into Act3 and have always thought I restart because I'm anxious about messing up a companion quest, the assets loading in at a snails pace every time I travel, and/or I can't handle the excitement of actually being in the city *starry eyes* and ultimately I just don't _want_ to finish the game yet (considering how upsetting the ending/s have been for a lot of players, I'm scared and sad lol) but hindsight and reading through these comments I get this sort of sinking feeling that I too felt a bit, idk stymied in Act3. That maybe it isn't just my own silly hang-ups.
I heard a long time ago that Act3 was supposed to be as lengthy as Acts1and2 put together but if that content is just a whole bunch of inconsequential side quests I'm going to have to adjust my expectations. Set my mind to enjoying the scenery, atmosphere, and energy of the bustling big city if nothing else? hmmmm
And also drink up all those little details for headcanons! Teehee, you know.
*grin*
