Yeah, I think the throughline connecting the various changes was deciding that with a long game that people probably wouldn't replay more than once, that it was better to shoot for an 8/10 crowdpleaser rather than maybe a 9/10 that'd leave people with some ambiguous feelings. It's a shame because I genuinely don't think it would have impacted, say, profits or reception but it definitely might've led to people being upset that they were experiencing bad consequences (look at how people are grumbling that Lae'zel can take a stat penalty in the creche) or a storyline that might've been more cohesively melancholic (Karlach.)
