This is why I've never finished Baldur's Gate 3, there's just so much exploring by the time I hit act 3 I'm mentally tired from all the searching methodically lol
That is because Baldurs Gate 3, or really any RPG, isn't meant to be 100% completed in one run.
Instead, you play a character that chooses and reacts to the parts they encounter and write a story like that. That character might not want to do certain story beats, but an other character might. You pick and choose what fits your character.
Don't worry about missing something, that is what the second playthrough is for.
That's not allowed by my brain though
I solved that by growing old and impatient
Once in the city I just follow quest markers directly and search anything that happens to be in my path.
I tried to be thorough the first time but so far on every (singleplayer) playthrough since then I have discovered new things mostly in acts 1 or 3 though.
