Eh, fiction is all about lying. The question how good you can write the "no-no, this is THE REAL TRUTH" - stuff^^. And one of the recurring theme of the series is, that you have to discover the lies of your forebears, so I can still forgive them some hickups. People lie in this games, a lot.

But I agree on one complaint, that I read a lot: the timeline got very complicated in all this years, so they should conclude this storyline with the next game and then ... dunno, 10.000 years later and we have Steampunk Dragons again?
