Does anyone remember if the Shadowcurse started 10 years or 100 years before the events of the game?
I was under the impression that the indiscriminate nature of the Shadowcurse was a punishment for Ketheric's apostasy from Shar to Myrkul, but Myrkul was dead for most of Ketheric's life, and only appeared to Ketheric at most 10 years before the game starts.
Otherwise, the Shadowcurse was an emergency mechanism released by Shar when her champion was unexpectedly defeated by a Devil 80-100 years ago.
The answer is important because it indicates how long Halsin was ignoring his duties. 10 years is no big deal. 100 years is some shit.
Also, re:Aylin...
As someone that complained about Aylin and Isobel in Act 2, I think Act 3 does them more justice to character development. Still, I would have liked a conclusion to that "Paladin's Fatigue" plot bit as it sounded interesting before they disappeared to do plot stuff, but I'll take what I can get.
