How do I know in which Act I am ?

[jrhelly2000]

Erm apologies for the silly question I'm sure, but how do I know in which Act I am ? I am looking at the various menus including the Journal, Quest etc... but can't see anything that would tell me in which Act I am.

Thank you.

If you are in the shadow lands you are in Act 2, if you are in Baldur's Gate you are in Act 3.

Ok I am in an area called Underdark-Grymforge, so is this still Act 1 ? (I haven't found Shadow Lands yet).
But also, is there a way in the game to actually tell me in which Act I am or ?...

You're still in Act 1. When the fast travel list changes and you can't go back any more, you'll be in Act 2.

Yeah underdark gyrmforge is Act 1. If you see a warning to finish your remaining quest before entering another region, thats act 2

[Lur Nen Rue]

you get achievement entering act2

Act 1 ends when you take the elevator from Grymforge but also when you take mountain pass.
act 2 is entire shadow cursed lands as mentioned, moutain pass is a bit of that too.
act 3 is Baldur's Gate

Got it.
In fact, I think I got into the elevator (that leads to Shadow Land I think) and I did get a message asking me to "tie up lose ends", so I decided against taking this elevator, and turn back into Underdark-Grymforge.

So you guys confirm that I need to be extremely sure to have finished everything I wanted to do in this Act 1 before proceeding to Act 2, yes ? As in, including doing the side quests etc... because there is no turning back after ?

[ComradePreacher]

Yes if you have anything unfinished such as quests then wrap that up in act 1 area, if there's nothing else you're good to go.

(You can return during act 2 to act 1 areas but some npcs and quests may have moved on as time has passed)

Hmm, I'm deep in Act 2, at moonrise tower, but I can still fast travel back to any previous (Act 1) waypoint. Are you saying thats a bug for me?

Alright, thanks a lot for the help, appreciate it I'm clear now.
Man this game is good !
