I've gotten to act 3 twice in playtbroughs and both times my interest just dropped and I could not finish the game. I think act 2 is the best act from a story standpoint, because we actually have a clear narrative line to follow. Act 1 is unfocused and the plot of the game and the encouragement to explore are at odds in a qay I find unsatisfying. I think act 2 is when the story of the game is the strongest, its the point where we actually know what the plot is.
