I kinda expected a little more originally.
Stop. I'll help you realize that expecting more is a silly idea. The first Lords of Shadow had
four writers I believe, and the biggest thing that happened with that plot was a plot twist that a 14 year old on DeviantArt could come up with (presumably this child was related to staff, so it was a freebie idea for the plot). They've already set the ground for forgettable, silly plots that Cox and crew will always pimp out as "amazing" and secretive, when they're more bumpy and weaksauce than the framerate to LoS and MoF.
I'm willing to bet LoS2 is going to have a storyline as stupid as this. The Brotherhood is what Gabriel is going to hunt for years, when maybe, just maybe, the super evil bad gaijin Satan is pulling their strings, and then in the future they fight, and they die. The tragic tales to ever befall a consumer since Dragon Tales.
