Guys. The main party is different than other True Souls. It's said multiple times. The main characters have slipped their chain. Is it because of the goth weapon? Kinda seems like it could be.

But give Larian some slack. This is EA. You shouldn't know everything by the end of it. You should know practically nothing. The art of good storytelling is to hook the audience and keep them hooked one mystery at a time. You don't reveal all the secrets in the first 25% of the story. Of course it's going to seem like plot holes at this point. You have no idea what is coming.

Now, if by the end they haven't wrapped up the plot holes, THEN we can criticize. But until then, you have no idea what is an actual plot hole.
