I fully agree. Also one more thing I find important - have you guys ever noticed that when going north of the Baldur's Gate waypoint towards the Upper City gate game stops you from progressing there. And if you persisted The Emperor is "interfering" and teleporting you back, because "the Elder Brain was there". How is the Elder Brain there in the Upper City while it is in a cave complex where you go by boat through the Sewers/Undercity? So the brain is at two places simultaneously?

That or it is just a simple excuse for not letting you enter Upper City. It could have easily been just a gate you can't pass or open and that's it. Why whole mechanic to stop you? Nowhere in the entire game there is such a thing except when the EA was not letting you progress into already existing zones.

Think about that, please!
