Okay, i feel like i have to come to the defence of irenicus. I picture him as something like a fallen elven practitioner of High Magic, maybe with a level in the mid 20s which is really more powerful than Manshoon of Zhentil Keep. Remember the elves of Suldanessellar can be likened to the elves of Myth Drannor, and some of the most powerful mages are elven mages. So yes, there's nothing worse than being manipulated and knowing it and not being able to do anything about it, but he wasn't THAT bad as a villain.
A agree that the main plot was somewhat weak, it's basically stop the thief isn't it. I hope that the developers check the boards for all this constructive feedback.
