I'm not even talking about bugs. Opinion based on act1 and very beginning of act2 experience.

1. Dialog and player choices feel railroaded as heck, options are suddenly lovelove or rude as fuck. Quality of dialog writing is very different from other parts of the game.
1. His story is r/rpghorrorstory level problematic. From DM perspective his backstory and associate npc's are especially bad choices.
It wouldn't bother as much if either was better, but both in current state just sticks out to me.

My partner thinks this character must be some executives personal OP character shoe horned in to game despite criticism.

sidenote: His story would work far better if he was delusional insane person. Instead its literal game over with "certain choices", if you take him out of the portal.

I don't talk to gale. He casts magic missile, jump and fireball. I talk to basket the imp more.

When you meet shovel you can ask about her name and change it to basket or something else like fork i think
