Trying to get into Act 2 (startrek.website)

I scoured all the Act 1 areas (probably still missed stuff) but finally decided to jump into Act 2. I'm struggling to feel "connected" to it, to be honest. I went down the ladder into the Underdark and just sailed my way across to some ancient Shar-worshipper place and I feel... lost?

I remember this was exactly the issue I had with D:OS2 as well. Played Fort Joy, loved it, made it off the island and couldn't figure out where to go, what to do, etc. The sense of direction left me.

I feel similar vibes here arriving in Act 2. Anyone have any tips or advice, or is it just a case of "stick with it, you'll be all right"? I'm asking because I've played a lot of Act 1 and barely touched the game since making it into Act 2 a few weeks ago.

So if you're in the Underdark, you're not actually in Act 2 yet. If you need the main story to drive you forward, you have a little further to go. The Underdark doesn't advance any personal quests, at least not in a major way, even though there's plenty to do.

The difference between this and D:OS2 is that while Reaper's Coast felt open, the level scaling still had the zone on rails, more or less. Here, you have a couple different ways to go. If you want to move on (I suggest level 5 if you aren't already first), there is a way forward to find. If you want a more straightforward road, try the path on the surface.
