Plotlines you'd like to see resolved
So it seems the game is going to keep pushing the players forward into new territory. What are some things in S1 and 2 that you hope to see explained before the end? Here are mine. Maybe they were explained already but I missed it in which case please enlighten me.
-Naveen-- was I supposed to get some meaning from that scene where Verafim is talking to her while she is pretending to sleep?
-Vampires-- they don't seem to count as fomors. What is this "other world" that they are from?
-Holy Artifact in Hoarfrost depths-- this felt like it was going to be important somehow
-Tarrasque-- is Keaghan's dragon as big as or even related to the god dragons? why does no one seem to think it's a big deal that it exists? what happened to it after Fate & Destiny?
-Bloody Shade-- the whole thing with Ingkells wasn't really resolved to my satisfaction, though I suspect S3's corruption will tie back somehow
-Solaire-- is she working for the Pontiff?
Hopefully Vindictus doesn't go the way of LOST: the Game
(yes you just did)

Dunno about vampires. Ainle story was all over the place, really.
Dunno.
The dragon still lives, is apparently know to the Rocheste civilians as benevolent but likes to leave its huge droppings everywhere.
I agree the loss of Lord Ingkells and Ortel Castle should have been more fleshed out. I would like to have notable events of S1 mentioned in future story.
Solaire is in fact an agent of the Pontiff's Court. She killed the other coffer chaser who was going to destroy the letter stating the location of the remaining Royal Family, and sent the letter herself so Ulchas could come ravish Malina but only kill Milo after the fact.
I wish there were more callbacks to season 1. No reminiscence of fallen characters at all(due to memory removals) Like nothing about Ellis, Ingkells, or Gwynn.
Yes exactly my thoughts. But I don't know how I'd feel if they were brought back by reviving like the mercs and Riordan. Like it might cheapen the deaths somehow. Gwynn and Ingkells made the ultimate sacrifice for their duty or beliefs. Ellis's death was a huge f-ing deal back then because children weren't allowed to be harmed, much less killed, in Western games. Even today games would rather completely destroy suspension of disbelief to avoid harming children like in Bethesda games, or simply put the death off-camera like in Mass Effect 3. That gruesome scene was, in an unironic as possible sense, edgy.
Keaghan's dragon is benevolent as it's basically his companion. You can see it on Rocheste castle from time to time (not sure if it's still there after the events of S1). I think the NPCs mention it though post-Keaghan as a thing that exists, but they don't know where it came from.
I believe when Brynn tried to summon the Goddess, but instead summoned Glas in his weakened form, the portal between the world and the Other World opened letting loose all of the Vampire horde. The vampires, in turn, burned the town of Ainle, killed the inhabitants, and enslaved unfortunate goblins that was there at the time. This is why the bosses names are Servant of Twilight and Servant of Oblivion.
A month a go, Ikarsu made a posted about the 9 worlds of Norse mythology. That might provide some insight as to where the vampires come from:

What? Where is it stated that Verafrim used fomor domination on Naveen? In the first place, Naveen is human.
Ortel just seemed really rushed. Riodran also starts acting like an unnecessary at that point...he used to be have a more balanced potrayal.
Wher eis it stated that Solaire killed some other coffer chaser? She stabbed Idan or whats his name, but it was never stated that he died.
Vampires didnt feel very fleshed out sadly. The mystery should have been explored in more detail.
Holy artifact is another red herring. So is Aodhan mentioning werewolves.
Uh...no....Brynn summoned glas when he was a kid. Ainle was explictly stated to be an attempt by the pontiff's court or royal army to try and summon the goddess, which failed and summoned the vampires instead.
Keaghan's dragon probably wasn't explored because they didn't want to write about Keag rescueing his dragon, or making a high res model of it.
I do remember Verafim saying something about domination working on half-fomors, probably referring to Naveen.
I think we're supposed to infer Idal died because Finnec refers to Solaire as a murderer.
In Season 2 during one of the cutscenes when Verafim is speaking to Naveen, I'm fairly certain he mentions something along the lines of: "Who would have thought the domination works even on half-fomors." So, Naveen is half-Fomor, assuming I'm remembering that event clearly.
When Solair stabs Idal she says she'll get him treated right after she sees what he's hiding, but then leaves him bleeding out anyway. At the end of Season 2 when you go around talking to everyone who's forgotten everything, Finnec even calls her a murderer.
