It’s literally completely different people making the game now. If you read a lot you can see the narrative shift and the particular styles of writing. At one point this last year they started writing in the weapons and armor the people were using in the lore. Not only not necessary but very forced, with wording like “Ana bray pulled out her 18 kelvins and shot through the ice” when they could just say she shot through the ice, the weapon name and type are irrelevant but even then you could just say sidearm. It’s almost as if they are struggling to hit a word count and had to write as many words as possible to explain the smallest thing. CASE IN POINT
