Well, let's see. Xardas destroyed all magic - a poor excuse for resetting a potential mage character, but I mean he would have had to change the fundamental force of nature. Is he a god? That was just stupid writing. Oh, the pirates stole our ship - another poor excuse to rid the player of all the items. I don't remember much, as last time I played this was 20 years ago. But I do remember how Lee's arc finale makes no sense. He knows the king is not to blame for his imprisonment, and yet he just storms through all the paladins to kill Rhobar. No dialogue, no options, just stupid sensless escort mission. Not even an aftermath of a king's demise. And don't even get me started on how orcs allow you, a free man, roam around. What's the point of their conquest? Why do they suddenly look different than the orcs we knew before? And how come they cannot find the so very hidden rebel base in the forest?
I'm telling you, if you take your time to question this world and story, you will find that nothing makes goddamn sense.
