#i wish we had more halsin romance content but i will settle for this

We shall triumph. Our time together does not end here.

If Larian had more time to develop the game before coming out of early access, Act 3 would be unstoppable. I quite like the city and how much there is to do, even though it falls flat in the end, especially with your companions and romance interests. You can't follow Halsin to the Grove. You can't see what your OC and Astarion do after. You can't see your PC and your companion settling down—there's no actual closure. I talked about that right after I finished my first run, but I still feel that way.

Act 1 is nice, but you're not familiar with the world just yet. Your mission is to venture forth and nothing yet. I don't mind it, but I wouldn't want to linger there.

Act 2, in theory, is very cool. The Underdark, the Shadow Cursed Land. But the lack of sun there and monsters that ambush you want me to run to the city as soon as possible. It was also the reason why I completely skipped the Underdark on my current second run. Not only the area is HUGE, I get lost there very easily and such a dark and grim place makes me feel claustraphobic in a way. I want to get out of there as soon as possible cause its suffocating and contributes to my anxiety after some time in there.

So when I get to see the sunshine again, the lanterns, the city lights, the inn we're staying in, it's all 🥰.

I do wish Larian could improve Act 3 and add more to the city and its content with time. Perhaps with a DLC or something. I saw how Act 3 was the least fav for a lot of people & it makes me sad. In act 3 you can finally romance Halsin. You can finally face Cazador. Plus, we get to interact with Orin and Gortash—to me they're way more exciting than Ketheric. I truly like act 3 even though I can feel how they were lacking time and (maybe) money to make it more exciting and polish it.
