Larian Studios Forums Beyond Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks Act Confusion

i have not been playing BD for a long time nad the references to Acts is confusing me a little. I am mulling around the Imp Village at present - i believe i am in Act 1 still as there has been no mention of Act 2. Come to think of it i cant remember a mention of Act 1 anytime at the beginning?
one question i would like to ask is:
i haven't been to the battlefield in a while. i have about 2 or 3 keys yet to be used. i've onlly been in 2 battlefield cave type things. one can't help to notice the progression along the story in BD being a lot different to DD. As you progress you can't return to certain areas. If i progress too far will i no longer be able to access the Act 1 battlefields. Is it worth doing everything as soon as i have the chance?
i realise this may be a silly question.

The change in acts is preceded by some narration from the Death Knight. When you exited the Citadel,you entered act 2. The Battlefield keys you have now are for act 2 battlefields. Act 1 battlefields are closed to you. Since the battlefields are just for trading and level boosting, use them if you feel you need to. My opinion is that they make the game just a little to easy if you exploit them too much.

aaahhhh. many thanks.
just for my information - how many dungeond did i miss in act 1. i completed 2 dungeons in battlefield level 1. although, the second dungeon had no enemies within. this was apparently a patch problem. i am finding the game remarkebly easy compared to DD, although playing DD a second time was a easy.

There are three dungeons in A1; so you missed one.
