I agree with Ghost about the orb - besides, there will be nothing to ressurrect after the blast. So that game over makes total sense to me.
The Absolute reveal was strange, yes. I thouht, there would be more coming in act 3 - maybe an involvment by Raphael or his daddy (since Mephisto is heavily teasered throughout the game). It doesn't make the game bad, I like most of the story, though I still can't understand, what the three Stooges (aka Bane, Bhaal and Myrkul) wanted to achieve. What good is having control over the Swordcoast, when you risk loosing all the souls in the process? That is a pretty high gamble.
I mean at least Bhaal doesn't strike me as the most ... intelligent of the gods, he comes across as that whiny teenager edgelord, everyone, who played DnD during their teenage years probably knows. I didn't know much about Bane and Myrkul, but I guess, they are not much better tbh.
