I wonder what everyone felt regarding this storyline?

I honestly expected the story to mirror bg 1-2 not flat out copy it.
This is what I expected to see: "A wicked moment, person, or thing that cannot be slain by sword or spell haunts your mind and flickers in your peripheral vision. You carry it wherever your adventure takes you - or perhaps it carries you."

I did not see any flickering in my peripherals, I did not see any haunting dreams. I expected literally something more haunting, maybe ancient, maybe infernal. Maybe more subtle in the beginning. I expected to actually see something flickering across the screen sometimes(maybe events?). Something that paralleled the originals quite well. And I was really disappointed when it turned out you are just another Bhaalspawn.

The build up is really good but then you hit act 3 and it is just: you step on to Wyrms crossing, and for some random reason: "a surge of memories hits you. You are the former assassin of Bhaal..." And.. That's it. I face Orin and hit a button that says "resist" and it is over.

There is never any big consequence to being the Dark Urge either, across 85 hours it was just Alfira ..

What did people think?
