Side question - Can someone try and define the line between the acts without spoiling? I just hit level 8 and found the nightsong last night. I think I’m in Act 2? Was kinda expecting major cutscenes or narration like DOS and BG2 to define them.
You are in the later part of act 2. The end of act 2 is now pretty straight forward. The City is Act 3, and everything before entering the shadowlands is act 1.
Entering act 3 removes the ability to go back, finding the nightsong locks out most of act 1 and 2.
finding the nightsong locks out most of act 1 and 2.
Well, look who’s giving up all that exploration I was doing yesterday specifically to see if I could find things pertaining to this. Just gonna mind my business, I guess, since I have every side quest ever to do and that was merely the one that interests me most.
I get it’s probably for story reasons but I hate being locked out of places and knowing that happens for any reason is saddening.
You get an achievement when you complete an act. That’s how I was able to tell I was in act 2 and eventually act 3.
Didn’t you get a prompt saying you are leaving act 1 tie up your loose ends?
All the prompts I’ve seen saying to tie up my loose ends were misleading considering I could still go back and finish things. Going to the mountains or the gith creche, entering the under dark and the shadow cursed land… The only one with slightly different verbiage was when I entered the prism, and that was the only one that actually made it where I couldn’t come back from shit.
It was a bit annoying, because up to that point I’d been told the same thing with different words and it didn’t mean jack, so I figured this time wouldn’t be different and it ended up killing a ton of people I know I can save. 😩
It didn’t mention the act at any time, and from what other players have been talking about I am pretty fucking sure I got the ending this speedrunner did because the game basically ended at Ketheric my first run.
