Is it me, or can you do some of the campaign quests out of order? I found myself having quests open in act 1, 2, and 3 at the same time. I thought since I was in act 3, that I was done with act 1, but then realized I had to go back and finish a bunch of stuff. That was a bit confusing. I know open world sort of gives you the ability to go anywhere, but the campaign should be linear, right? I did a quest in act 3 where my guy said he had seen the wolf before and I was thinking “I never saw that wolf.”
It’s easier if you to do the quests depending on how the story is flowing.
You did, in the opening sequence, it’s what saves you in the cave
Act 1-3 can be done in any order. The wolf was literally in the opening cutscenes after making your character.
Once you start a quest, it stays open. So, Cathedral of Light quest from Act 1 will stay until you complete it.
Pick up quests will stay until you complete it. Scared Exorcist’s Cache is an example.
Fractured Peaks has Sorc and Rogue Class Quests; Dry Steppes has Barbarian Quest; Scosglen has Druid Quest. So, if you are a Druid doing Fractured Peaks, the class quest will stay there until you complete it. After you complete it, the Donan class quest chain will show up - however, you have not completed quests from Act 1.
