Oh, to have such wide-eyed innocence still! I wish you the best of luck as you progress… but given how very poorly the 3rd act runs on my beast of a gaming PC, I fear you may run into problems. Granted, until they actually finish the 3rd act this is all moot - you’re better off starting a new game before entering the city proper.
Midway through Act 3 with my Ivy Bridge i7 and GTX 1060. Frame rates are certainly lower in the city, but I’ve encountered zero crashes or serious bugs. And while I’ve yet to finish the game, I’ve observed no drop in quality or quantity of content in Act 3. I must concur with another poster in questioning the avowed beastliness of your machine.
I think you’re over exaggerating, either how poorly the game runs or how good your PC is. Mine is quite old, and the city does run noticeably worse but not unplayable by any means. It defaulted graphics to ultra (which is crazy for how old my machine is) and the city runs at about 25fps, which for a first person or action game would be unbearable, but a top down strategy game I don’t even notice unless I look at the FPS counter.
I had a few issues when I got to town but I had been playing for hours at that point. Restarting the game made a lot of the low framerate issues that had been occurring go away.
