Piety is such a half-baked McGuffin they're better off creating an entirely new character to develop lore rather than trying to flesh out her train wreck of a character.

Care to elaborate on that?

Which part needs further explanation: The part where I suggest they focus on new characters or the part where I suggest Piety not be developed further?

Maybe you should elaborate >=D

I quite like her as a villian, but presentation-wise PoE is very basic - sometimes lacking, even. It took me even quite some time to figure out, that she's the leitmotif of the game, at all. Granted I didn't play everything consecutively, most of all some parts without voice acting back in CB, and thus didn't pay close attention to those parts during OB.

Also, though you seem to run into her wherever trouble is, you never get any idea, what she's working towards or what you are actually trying to prevent. Admittedly a whole backstory could be counterproductive, but I'd like to be able to find some lab reports of her twisted experiments in Lunaris Temple, for example. It would enhance the grisly mood and perhaps even give the player some personal motivation to stop her.

Its probably been said, but the way diablo 3 did it with journal entries (sorry to mention the game that must not be spoken of) was one thing they did do right with that game. Perhaps you could have Piety's journal entries dropped in different places as the game progresses through act 2 / 3 with voice acting. Love the game, would just like to know more about the world it takes place in and the people who play major roles.
