I really wish Larian had committed to Mountain Pass being either Act 1 or Act 2, as it currently sits in a very awkward spot in the game�s progression. I think of it as Act 1, and part of why Acts 1 and 3 are vastly superior to 2, but others think of it as Act 2, and a redeeming factor therein. Remember the human (This is a forum for a video game):

If you don't resolve the goblin problem before then, the grove gets closed off and tieflings die. I'm actually not sure what happens if you stop the druid ritual and go to act 2 without killing the goblin leaders. Once in a2 you have to resolve the harper stronghold problem before going back to act 1 or it gets nuked. Other than that you can freely move between a1 and a2 and do whatever quests you want in any order.
