I wonder how Acts will be determined, mostly on critical path milestones I presume?

 

Hopefully the case doesn't end up being the final act is very short purely because you knocked off everything else prior to it.

 

It maybe a consequence of the more open world design. Basically not fulfilling the main quests and just wondering doing side content.

They did a very good job of “gating” the acts in Pillars 1. I’m sure they didn’t forget how all of a sudden :p

Hopefully acts are determined by critical path actions and change after player makes them, so they are, in an extent, determined by us. Something like Baldur's Gate 2 chapters 2 and 3 in Athkatla.

I couldn't remember 100% for some of them - but I picked what I think my Watcher (1st playthrough) probably would have done.  (Must go and redo the survey for my 2nd Watcher).  There was only one question I had a 'huh?' moment on (ie I didn't even remember the quest/choice at all) - related to one of the gods' quests - 2 people living beyond their time?  Where was that? (It's possible I missed it in game, or it was  short non-memorable event).

This is something that puzzles me, I am pretty sure I did all side quests in my playthrough, and after finishing I noticed the steam achievment for finishing all god-related quests, that I never got. Then I recalled that these must have been obtainable from these stone pillars where every god was represented. I certainly looked at all of them since they had something to do with the main quest and you could dothem a favour when dealing with Thaos soul in a certain way.

Now I read up on these quests, and some sound vaguely familiar, but one some I am totally dark. Did you have to do something in particular to get all the quests?

 

On topic on the acts and how long they might take, I would not overinterpret that savegame. They are probably testing a lot of stuff and that might include shipping around the archipelago for hours and fighting battles there without doing any "real content". I guess this will be quite the timesink.

Is Josh fluent in German? I can easily understand his German without external aid and I'm not fluent, so that's probably a bad sign for his fluency. But I wanted to know for sure in case I'm better at German than I thought I was.

Okay, well, that's one that could have been its own thread.
