Ummmm ok....but...why?  So off I go, cleaning out different levels, finding out about the power struggle, bumping off head-clerics.  I dont hear anything about the people I am supposed to find.  I meet some wizard who tells me he has been scrying me and that he is going to destroy me....so I bump him off.  I find some bone helm that is supposed to unlock some demon who I have yet to hear of and I am instructed to locate a number of objects to destroy the helm with.  Ok, so back into the temple I go, I start to look around and I get caught up with some other Cleric who I think I am inflitrating and then I get escorted into some inner temple.  The Uber boss asks me to perform a service for him (I assumed I was still infiltrating the temple), I accept and then the game ends.  All in all, I didnt know what the hell was going on!Now, I think the game is amazing and I love the graphics, the combat, the customization etc.  However, I found there to be a major lack of motivation and flow of information to my party.  I understand I did a number of random and sometimes alignment conflicting things in the game, but even so, I felt lost and confused the whole time.  Is this the point? (I probably just answered my own question).  I am glad the game is not linear and that I had the opportunity to take 90 different paths, but some structure is needed.  Maybe its just me....I am now playing the game as a CE party and I find that the party motivation is a little clearer and there is a coherent string of bad guys and groups who are associated with eachother.  I am enjoying the game alot more now.I think alot of this post may make absolutely no sense so just ignore the obvious displays of idiocy - I barely slept last night so my brain is melting.  All in all the game is great but I am just wondering if anyone else has issues with motivation / flow of information.  Oh and the guy who does the voice for Burne really annoys me <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />  BUT the Gelatinous Cubes look so cool!Cheers,</blockquote>
