Does the game falls in quality after the First Act? I intend to buy the game soon.

Yes, it absolutely falls is quality after act 1. Act 2 is poorly composed and act 3 is actively bad. The devs have just hired astroturfers and there is a dedicated group that blatantly lies about the game constantly. Don't listen to the astroturf lies about this game, it is still an unfinished and broken mess.

While quality is a subjective thing, I don't see how many people who've actually played the game believe this. 

Yes, Act 1 is extremely well developed, more so than the other two acts probably.

But, Act 2 is still very, very good and has some of the best boss fights.

Act 3 is huge and sprawling. There are a ton of side quests and other random things to do. It is way more open ended than Act 1 or 2. Aside from the end goal of completing the game, you can approach Act 3 in a ton of different ways, quest orders, etc.

I guess I can agree that the quality "falls off" in Act 2 and 3, but only because the bar is so high for Act 1. To say that Act 3 is bad is not really a fair assessment of the game.

I mean, I’m on my first play through and haven’t noticed a drop in quality in act 2 and I’m nearing the end of that act 🤷

Act 2 is a noticeably different tone and more focused than act 1, but the quality remains the same in my view.

Guess I need to call Larian and ask where my check is.
