The re-use of maps and small world really hurts this game. By Act 2 I was tired of seeing the same sewers and mansions and city streets.
The story is lackluster with maybe 1 or 2 interesting set pieces, and the gameplay never really evolved past mashing Attack and sometimes using skills when they were off cooldown / you have Stamina.
The companions are the only thing carrying this game. The different views of the world added levity to conversations I couldn't care less about. The party banter being confrontational in Act 1 or playful remarks in Act 3, and seeing the companions having conversations together without the Champion is a really good touch.
Even with how good the companions are though, the story and gameplay were so boring that it was a slog to complete.
