: 1. Nothing mentioned about Balmung being broken, in fact,
: Balmung was utilized in The Forge, however, it's
: lightning powers were not. Please note that Alric
: remained immune to lightning throughout The Forge
: sequence. This was because he had Balmung which makes
: him immune.
Alric was resistant (he's never immune) to lightning back in Madrigal too - hell, he was pretty damn resistant against all those Fetch at the end of TFL, if you think about it. Balmung isn't what makes him lighting-proof. Second, they never mention the Deceiver's death after "Shiver" either, but we SEE him die. Likewise, you can play Twice Born and SEE the shards of Alric's sword fall to the ground, and he chases after Soulblighter unarmed. The next level he has a sword again, but not Balmung - presumably he just picked up someone else's sword.
: 2. Soulblighter "betrayed" all. Why? Because he
: broke the Cycle of Life. He attacked during an age
: that was supposed to be dedicated to peace, due to the
: fact that Balor (The Levelor) was vanquished.
Except that it was supposed to be a Light age. The last age was Light. Balor failed to make this a Dark age. Then Soulblighter tried to make it Dark, and he too failed.
