I agree on everything you said, and ESPECIALLY on the crusade. What were they thinking. It has to be the most unfun thing I have seen in any video game. Instead of having to play a fun CRPG, I have to play a separate side game which is terribly unbalanced and removed from anything else. Act 3 is already dragging on for too long, crusade made me straight up drop the WotR entierly for months. I know it can be disabled, but I feel kinda bad to play on a custom difficulty.
