So, I met the unplaiable pair. In all I agree with the criticism. I wasn't never too invested in either of the characters, so I am not too offended, but they did feel to me like different NPCs wearing familiar faces (or rather names - is it just me, or does male's helmet seem strangely small?)

They don't feel like they follow trajectory that my playthroughs put them through, though I am unfamiliar with cannon - I have seen Abdel Adrian being mentioned in some texts, so I assume they went with that more or less. Shame as until act3 I felt they were doing well playing ambigiously. They so deftly manouvered around Jaheira's history, I feel it is shame they weren't quite as clever with those two. It is also unfortunate, that beside fanservice they never had a business of being there - and I am not sure how many fans will be thrilled by their portrayal.

And speaking of continuity - I just run into this odd thing, when talking to Volo:

Sarevok didn't change into the slayer - it was Gorion's Ward/Irenicus' thing.
