OK. I'm just going to respond like this. The fact that you and I have two totally different ideas of what is going on in this story only proves my point oh so much more. You are, once again, focusing on the very minute details and missing the big picture of what I'm saying.

And you have only emphasized my point so much, I can't believe how much. It's insane. I read it and thought, "Where are you getting all of this? Clearly you and I are playing different games because what you think is going on is totally not what I think is going on."

And that, again, is the point. BG3 is not clear at all as to what is really going on. I've played 600+ hours of this game, and I've delved into this story so much it's ridiculous. I've examined books and tomes and taken screenshots of them and used them in my story word-for-word and tried to piece different logs together and so forth. I've watched other people's playthroughs to see what they experienced. I've done side-by-side comparisons with different elements of the game to try to put the puzzle all into one cohesive story, and what I got was SO not what you got.

So thank you for proving my point. If we who have played endless hours of this game have two totally different takes on EVERYTHING storywise in the game, something's QUITE unclear about the story of BG3. Larian needs to be WAY more clear on their story elements so players are not thinking to themselves, "What the heck is going on here?"
