Also if you're determined to do as much content as you can, you'll reach level 12 by early act 3 probably, which can make it feel pointless to continue playing past that.

for me, there's also some fatigue from the bad loot, tedious inventory stuff, various bugs (can't sort inventory, skills not being added to the radial menus, etc), and bad design decisions. great game, though

You can always tell when a game is made by Finns because it will always have a sauna in it, regardless of what kind of game it is
