And I'll say this as well - it's not that incredibly immersion breaking to see someone live way past their natural life cycle (of which by the way, previous commenters pieced together why that is very likely possible). But as I said before in this thread, the more holes the audience have to fill in, the more work the audience does for the writer, the story's quality worsens. It's a snowball effect.
This point exactly is the crux of the issue. I feel as though Larian has left a lot of holes in this story. I'm happy to gloss over a few inconsistencies or logical leaps for the sake of a good story, but it reaches a point where it feels like I'm doing the writer's work for them. It feels at some points like Larian didn't even try to maintain consistency or keep to Canon. They just did as they liked without a moment's consideration. And that is not an attitude that inspires confidence in one's narrative skills.
