Dragon Age: The Veilguard acts

The game’s main story is divided into three acts, following a classic narrative structure, with a lengthy opening act establishing the characters up to a major plot point, a second act where your characters attempt to solve the problem set up during the first act, and a shorter resolution third act that leads to the story’s finale.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s three acts are:

• Act 1: Signs and Portents
• Act 2: The Price of the Past
• Act 3: The Wrath of Ages

The current act is always displayed above the main mission in the Journal menu, so you always know roughly how far into the game you are. The third act is entirely after the point of no return.
