i was in the game for a year? and yeah that ties into the mod change and they run plot. it became an info dump. even though i had enough background knowledge to understand what was going on, it didn't really feel like you could do anything with all that information. this big political wheel is spinning with or without your character. its easy to get lost when a lot of things lose their relevance. like another anon pointed out, old plot clues would come up that weren't relevant (that i could tell?) and would add to that why does this matter? feeling. if you're going to bring up dead npcs, do something interesting with them? they are certainly very interesting from what i could figure out! or just keep them dead so it doesn't get overwhelming and confusing.

ig it doesn't really matter if you're there just to make your characters bump uglies, which tanagura is very very good for.
