If those are supposed to be your examples of good writing... well, they really aren't. In 99% of the cases the "added depth" they supposedly invented is "generic tragic backstory". You could have pointed out champions like Neeko, Zoe or AuSol, who are neither good nor bad guys and are actually just doing their thing, but the truth is they're caricatures rather than actual fleshed out individuals. The new lore isn't even entertainingly bad, it's just woefully unoriginal MMO-tier "fantasy'". Warmother came close to having some interesting story beats early on, but unfortunately the game's story demanded we focus on Ashe rather than her mother or her tribe, so off they went.

I can easily see them making an MMO out of this. That would not be A Good Thing.
