I've long argued that the game doesn't do a good job at all of providing a baseline of normalcy for players, or of introducing the world/setting. We get a lot of things thrown at us with only context clues and our own assumptions to parse them with and I firmly think that that's a problem, especially when the game is clearly trying (rightly, in my opinion) to court new players to the franchise. I don't know the first thing about the setting and the game has, almost to the end of act one, not given me much of a sense of the baseline for what's normal.
