There is definitely a degree of assuming too much on the part of the player, which will hopefully be fixed by release. The problem is that the player character knows more than the player in many circumstances. I think the Pillars of Eternity, Tyranny and the Owlcat Pathfinder games had a decent solution for it with their popup lore for those interested.
Don't you just hate it when people with dumb opinions have nice avatars?
