Summary

TBD

Point of no return

Travelling to the Shadow-Cursed Lands or Rosymorn Monastery Trail from Act One before resolving the Rite of Thorns will cause it to be completed, automatically ending most quests involving the tiefling refugees, and the goblin/druid conflict. Otherwise, the player will still be able to return to the Wilderness and Underdark and complete the majority of lingering quests at any point.

The point of no return in Act Two takes place much later, inside the Gauntlet of Shar. Another alert will trigger, and after this point it becomes impossible to return to the Wilderness; all of its waypoints will be inaccessible, and all incomplete quests will automatically end.
