It feels as though I am fighting against the game with meta knowledge rather than playing the curated path (with many branches) up to End of act 2.


The story just becomes more fragmented and wonky and the plot holes really start.
Ally with Orin. Ally with Gortash.
But careful one option cuts out major stories so really you need to ally with gortash... How do I know this? Because I finished the game already and I know the consequences of the first time I had to resort to reloading things because things weren't explained to me clearly.

Agreed. I'm on my 3rd replay - which does speak well of a game - but the deficits of act three are screaming at me right now.

I obviously ally with Gortash since failing to do so means that the steel watchers will attack.

And then I do the iron throne and foundry because I don't Wyll's dad or die or for Wyll's soul to be dammed. (but he just becomes the Blade of Avernus anyway and his Dad assumes he took the deal - neither of which makes any sense)

And then because I need to either just put Orin's captive out of my mind or rush to the temple and pass a persuasion check if I want to finish the side quests. And the 'meta' of that ruins any immersion.
