To begin with why our exile find himself at the coast again?

This is not really a part of the lore; it's not really explained at all. It just kind of happens, and the exile rolls with it.

Someone already answered this for you. Read your own thread or there is no point in replying to you.

This is not a story driven game

You know the vast majority of your questions are answered in great detail if you clicked on anything in the game that plays an audio file, or bothered talking to all the NPCs and reading/listening to their dialogue.

Like if you actually care enough you can just go on the wiki, I don't see why you would waste time writing your entire thread and responding to people when even reading the wiki would be faster.

(piety's wiki backstory)

You don't find out about any of this until well into Act 3. Piety's been running all over the place, making fun of you and shit well before then.

If it was *supposed* to be a mystery, I wouldn't call it a plothole. But it clearly is not supposed to be a mystery. It's just an omission.

Or, you know, you could just go at it like an investigation. You know, pay attention to what monuments have written on them, and what people say. That's what I've been doing, and to have the 'vinia' story handed to me like it just was, kinda cheapens it.

Not that i'm mad or anything. but i was enjoying the unraveling of Wraeclast's history at my own pace.

Lore is everywhere turn sound on and listen to the nice npcs by the end of act 4 you can piece it all together.

That's fine, but it has nothing to do with my criticism.

It's not a plothole that Piety's existence is a mystery. It's a plothole that the Act 1 NPCs treat her like she's a known quantity--not at all a mystery--while talking to your character, as if your character SHOULD know who she is.

Here's one really simple example of what I'm talking about. Not ONCE does she tell you her name. Yet when you go back to town, Bestel says "Piety's raised Shavronne's barricade?" That ONLY makes sense if your character already knows who she is--or at the very least knows her name! And if she is that famous, then the game needs to explain that before this dialogue happens.

If she isn't that famous, then the game needs to have dialogue that makes sense.

Or we can all just be happy that it doesn't make sense (D3 style), since this is an ARPG and who tf cares about plot anyhow?

Well, apparently the OP does, and this point of criticism in particular is a valid one.

Dialla keep talking about cockroach, but I cant find cockroach monster.........

An Exile here? A shame the warden won't leave anything for me to examine. Make sure you tell our host that Piety of Theopolis sends her regards.

Heh, what's interesting is you can't quote a name that doesn't exist on this forum, meaning Piety links to a player here.

Mark, are you misrepresenting that player? Hehe, I kid, I kid. Time and again I've run into this problem when I want to, say, quote the wiki or an ingame description. What would you have done if no one was registered as Piety? That'd be embarrassing! But not really, since it'd show up blank. It'd be nifty if there was a bbcode function to give a source link rather than a player quote. Like {quote source="blahblah" link="doubleUdoubleUdoubleU"}
