Yes, I was. I mean, how can you not have emotional investment in the freaking Arch Fey patron of the land, who is the only one that can restore the shadow lands to their beauty before the curse? Or the fact he was Halsin's only friend and first teacher of the path of nature when Halsin's family got killed? Obviously he's not a talk show host, he just woke up from a slumber brought on by Shar's curse. He was recovering, and when you leave Act 3 you start to see the beginning of the land's rejuvenation.
At what point do you discover any or all of this?
I met Oliver before I got to the LL inn and I spoke to Art without ever having Halsin in my party or having talked to him since the post-Grove party. It's a poorly constructed and pointless story that has go to several locations just to pad it out.
