Totally agree. You knew from the first meeting, Daisy was not trustworthy. And I ended disliking the Dream Guardian because of the big reveal too. It was too much and too forced. He should have stayed an adventurer and self proclaimed protector
Too much, agreed. I remember having to take a half hour brake just to decide how to proceed with the reveal in terms of dialogue choices.
But forced? In what way do you find this reveal to be forced? There was a handful of hints and companion opinions that the whole dream guardian is a mind flayer ploy, starting from act 1. I think the fact that you bought into the adventurer story says volumes about how well it was written and executed with the Emperor. You even create your own version of a Dream Guardian to make them more trustworthy!
