I actually have no hate for the NR story. It was surprisingly a very great game and one of the best they've made in a while in terms of both gameplay and story, even if it does lose points for leaning on the usual "time is convoluted" slop.

You're nitpicking but touched on the main issue with the games where they lean on item descriptions that 1. most people won't read, and 2. most people won't FIND to read even if they wanted to. combining that with the fact they're often contradictory or vague to appear deeper than they really are.
As many problems as it had, the one thing ER did amazingly well was environmental storytelling. The stuff that needed, and had, no words but still told the full story of what happened. Farum Azula exploding and being present all over the map, and why it happened. The god of death infecting every living being through the cycle of life through food every living being eats. Both were some of the best the series has ever done in that regard. But when it comes to using their words they fall flat.
