That’s interesting. I kind of enjoyed II the most in my playthroughs, on reflection. The story is finally in full swing, there’s a lot of interesting enemies and set piece battles, and you get to start feeling powerful without being at a level where meaningful challenges are themselves overpowered. The high level battles often felt rather one-sided, one way or another.
Entirely fair, act III does sprawl. I think they were going for a sort of “now you know enough to make your own choices and be agentic rather than reactive” type of shift, but it is a lot.
