As I had mentioned earlier, I decided to get back to the game as penance for playing newer, GPS-navigated titles :P

My previous choice had been a Torquemada-style priest. However, having (painfully) finished Act I, I decided I'd have nothing to do with those guys. Even with the double barbecue in the end.

Now, I returned to the game as a paladin, and started Act II yesterday. The general atmosphere of paranoia in this game is very real, but after a while I could already (sort of) tell who the "bad apples" in this chapter will be. The #1 I'm pretty sure will be the bishop Tranquilius (name?).

While the aforementioned bad apples are everywhere, so far I have the feeling that this church is very, very corrupt, especially in the higher ranks. If I won't be battling the Prince of Darkness himself in the end, I'm sure his best student will turn out to be the game's «pope» (don't know what they call him there).

On the other hand, the Brotherhood of the Righteous doesn't look too bad (apart from its unworthy leader in Glatzburg and some other dude who lost his necklace- that one is another of satan's minions).

Any thoughts on this? Who's cool and who sucks the most, and why?

I like Edmond guy from Act I, sadly his role not continued in further Act.
I'm disappointed in Paladin Christopher in Act III. He started this game's story by helping the player but only just that, no plot twisted, no bigger plan, actually he doesn't even do anything.
