Why are there points of no return? (lemmy.world)

The points at which the game transition between acts seem a bit arbitrary (mainly for Act I to Act II), and I don't see a narrative or mechanical reason to lock us out of previous maps and quests. As far as I remember, previous Baldur's Gate games didn't have this kind of points of no return. Why do you think they did it? Do you like it?

The problem with these games (like Stellaris, which is also on offer and I would recommend with the same warning) is that the base game lacks many interesting features, which you only get if you buy all the DLCs.

Thanks! I did read 'The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet' a while ago, but didn't know where to continue with Becky Chambers. I will take a look at that one.

True! I think the depictions of daily life in the Culture was what I enjoyed the most in Banks books.

I saw another post here with very good recommendations on anarchist readings, but it was mostly non-fiction. Do you know about works of fiction (games, films, books...) that speculate how a fully-fledged anarchist society could be like (as in Ursula K Le Guin 'The Dispossessed')?
