In fact Larian is very impolite to the player at large.

This guy Lawrence in Lucula Forest treats the Source Hunters as scum. He is so angry that the mine gets destroyed and arrogantly blames the Source Hunters for being incompetent. I was like what, give me a break. I just saved your hide in the Truth Be Told quest, went into the mine (which got self-destroyed by itself and nothing to do with my actions there) and Lawrence blaming me incompetent ! I was thinking did I mess the quest or something. But no, the mine gets destroyed by default but it was very important to Larian to treat the player impolitely.

They treat the Source Hunters in this game with full disrespect. Including Aureus, open disdain. As if they are not emissaries from the main government and you should treat them with more care. Cheeses, they treat the Fabolous Five guild members with more respect than the official government emissaries.
