That, and the smaller communities that are here tend to be split between multiple instances.
This sounds like a plot straight from Gintama.
Since I finished Starfield. I've had an itch for more space exploration. I decided to get back into Elite Dangerous. I haven't played it for a good couple years. I bought the latest DLC for it when it was released. I just never got around to playing it. I'm absolutely loving the space legs.
I've been going from system to system. Mapping each planet and moon. Landing on those that I can. Exploring for geological features and biology samples. All while marathoning my favourite YouTube channels.

Sorry. At best I can only offer to play a tribute.
Happens to me all the damn time.
I just wish I wouldn't waste an hour typing and rewording it before I eventually give up.
I have a feeling there is no walking when using that ship. Just enter or leave the cockpit directly via fast travel.

Unfortunately you don't really get to witness the shadow curse lifting, at least not in any way that provides content, gameplay, or exploration.
The most you get is a cutscene when transitioning from the end of Act 2, to the beginning of Act 3.
On an unrelated note. You can't return to Act 1 or Act 2 locations once you begin Act 3. Make sure you head to the mountains and do the content there before you leave.
People whose first love was Lara Croft on the PSX?
Then later when they hit camp or eat a meal. Have them roll for constitution. Failure leads to spitting out a broken tooth and a future visit to the blacksmith to get it pulled.
Gather enough of them and you can summon the Great One patron. Though given what's being used to summon the Eldritch horror... It's less "Cthulhu" and more CthUwUlhu.
