The main story is too convoluted. Did we really need the Elder Brain and Balduran? It would have been much more satisfying, if it would have been about getting rid of the three Chosen ones. Make Gortash and Orin more important.
I kind of agree, a plot by the Dead Three with the expected backstabbing and subterfuge would have been more than enough for a great storyline. The Chosen of each should have been amazing for boss fights. The additions of the Balduran seems really a bit forced and the Elder Brain the way it is portrayed is just way over the top.
