I would also certainly agree with those that think act 3 was something of a damp squib. The early access hinted at a more complex political situation in the city than the released game provided. It may be that I simply missed a lot of act 3 content, but if so, it was not for lack of trying.
That’s quite possible. I’m in my second playthrough, and half the time I’m experiencing stuff I completely missed in my first playthrough.
There is a lot scratched though. According to datamined voicelines, Cazador for example had a bigger role, Raphael too. Maybe they expand it again in the definite edition. I'm all for political intrigues.
As for over sexualisation: At this point,I think Larian just does, what the fan base wants. When I see, that there is a 30 pages thread and more smaller threads about one kiss by a character, then you don't have to be a genius to know, what the people are after. And I say that judgement free. It's not my focus tbh ( I didn't even recognise, kisses were broken at one point), I want the political intrigues and a deeper character and story development, but if you look at social media, most of the posts are about romancing characters ( even the ones not romanceable like Gortash, Raphael, Kar'niss, Abdirak etc.) and lewd artwork and stuff. Which is totally ok, if that is, what people want. I still have enough that keeps me going, but hope for an act 3 update later on and think, it might be realistic for the definite edition, because it's a lot more work. Meanwhile the thirsty fan base gets their kisses, which are probably a lot easier to implement in patches and hotfixes.
