I'd say early act 1 is beautifully packed yes but also large parts of the rest of it and late act one and the majority of act 2. Act 3 is a siphoning of the experience so I guess we are at odds. I don't remember an act 4. 🤔 

For me the acts are divide by points of no-return:

Prologue = The Merryweather

Act 1 = Fort Joy (all the island)

Interlude = Lady Vengeance

Act 2 = Reapers Coast

Act 3 = The Nameless Isle

Act 4 = Arx and the endgame

Since Merryweather and Lady are very short (basically you travelling in a ship) I don't see them as propers acts, but as prologues/interludes 

Oh yeah, I didn't consider that an act 4 but you're right, it is distinct. Interludes would be a good word for the ship part alright. Although, what about the city? Is that still act 2?

The nameless isle so, is where it dilutes until the final stretch. May I ask did you play DOS1? The structure of that game is impeccable, while it feels small cause of the square instanced maps it always feels so full, there is no space wasted and I hope BG3 has the dungeoning of the beaten path feel of that game particularly. I love how in that game there are things that I could never figure out, I never could figure out how to get one character out of a cage to have her in the party and having two create your own characters feels so much better for choice of character, I felt compelled this time to choose an origion character cause there are so many choices and I didn't wanna blovk a slot oh and that's another thing missing from BG3 is stuff like the extra powers after removing the source collar and the teleporting pyramids that change traversal in interesting ways but I guess the extinct of the jump action makes up for that somewhat. I hope BG3 has those bit's in between like the ship in DOS2 and the end of time in DOS, fingers crossed, camp is a decent substitute so far. 

Is it possible to do all character stuff in one playthough cause of camp or should I steer away from swapping party members and wait for the second run?
