//And another thing – I'm making an absurd assumption about the neutrality of the undead. It's completely absurd, because I don't want to waste time searching the internet for information on this topic, but the main villain of "Dark Messiah" adhered to neutrality and a "guardian" ethic. But one video/phrase is enough to refute this...
That's exactly it. Arantir is definitely not a good guy. But somewhere, I can't remember where exactly, it was mentioned that he was actually concerned about maintaining the balance of power between good and evil, and the balance was clearly tilting towards evil. He released the demons from Shi'o, the Dark Messiah (according to prophecy, this is equivalent to the end of the world). So, it really does seem like some kind of neutral position. And if necessary, this guy could also "do good" in a bad way.

as for the campaigns in the 6th game, I can assume that the female necromancer hero will be quite unoriginal and boring. Just a typical evil child of a king, craving the throne... at least they changed the gender and made her a vampire, because necromancers are always male.
So, it seems that there will be a serious struggle for the throne, and if they are willing to tear each other apart for power, then there is no need to expect noble knights on white horses, kind elf environmentalists, or mages defending the ideals of good.

The developers definitely skimped on the dwarves. 6 different variations of fat dwarves and only one non-dwarfish creature (although, in my opinion, it's quite good).
O God of Earth and Altar,
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die,
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
Take away our pride.
