This game has some pretty sublime humor at times. (lemmy.ml)

There was a conversation with Withers where he shares a bunch of back-story about some of the big bads. He's speaking pretty plainly, but there was still a dialogue option that said "Stop speaking in riddles and speak plainly. Can't you give me more information?". I felt like I had already obtained what I needed from him, but clicked that option just to be sure I didn't miss something. The game zoomed in on his face and he slowly and firmly stated "NO". I cracked up in real life because it felt like the "speak plainly" option was there entirely to toy with the players, which is pretty funny.

There are two places you can go to trigger Act 2, either by going into the elevator in Grymforge or continuing into the Mountain Pass after meeting/fighting the Githyanki.

There’s a popup in each area to be sure you’ve finished what you want to, as moving to either area progresses the story and quests, and some stuff you don’t do is left undone.

There’s a similar popup between Acts 2 and 3, though there’s only one way to go for that and once you do, you can’t fast travel back to anywhere in Acts 1 or 2.

The Mountain Pass is actually still Act 1, but you can get to Act 2 from there.

Ah, I was just tinkering with the elevator but instead went down to the forge. Good to know there is a check, because I feel I have much more still to do topside. I stumbled into the underdark one fateful night and thought I was there too early but I'd have a quick look around and then get back to what I was doing... Fast forward to today and I've been on many adventures in the deep, forgetting my life above. Fitting for A Drow I suppose

The forge isn't the elevator to act 2. The elevator to act 2 is near the waypoint by the boat in Grymforge. There are 2 or 3 duergar out front and one calls another Stick shit. They warn you before you go onto the elevator so you'll know before you proceed to act 2.

Ah yeah that area, different elevator!
