Exactly what I mean. If they've put bit more effort into both Origins and Awakening, it would have been SO MUCH BETTER GAME. They lack explanation. I mean, what about Velanna's sister? What happened to her? Why the hell did she go with Archtect? And why do both she and Utha look diseased? Why can't Utha talk? None of them were answered/explained.
