I have 2 questions about the plot:
1) I have just finished the quest with the assassin who killed the duke and it makes no sense to me. What was the point of letting the assassin guildmaster go only to trap a mere hired killer? I thought that the most important goal of this quest was to exposethe duke’s son who commissioned the murder and only the guildmaster could testify against him. All the guards in the castle were talking about wanting to cut his throat, they only wanted to be sure it was him who had the old duke killed. Instead, the commander of the guards is satisfied with killing just the one who carried out the murder and forgets completely about the one who commissioned it. Why is that? What do you think?
2) I have just read about the ending of the game (I know it isn’t right to do so without having finished the game yet, but I was too curious) and I read there is a scene where the hero is tempted to kill a child with the spirit of a demon inside but at the end doesn’t do it and after that he is seen to carry the child away. I would like to know if this child is supposed to be the main “bad guy” in Divine Divinity 2 or is it another character? Does the ending of Divine Divinity 1 stay open or is it explained in part 2? I am asking that just because I hate open endings and would like to be prepared if this game has one.
