Judging by the Omega: Beyond the Rift quests, which were falsely advertised and ended up being more propaganda.... well, my wellspring of faith is positively famished right now.
Full disclosure, I find it interesting that people assign lore dumps to be “propaganda,” implying there’s some unvarnished truth being suppressed or ignored by the biased writers. There’s certainly examples of propaganda being used by in game actors who the writers intend to be untrustworthy, but to accuse the writers themselves of it is a bit like hearing a prophecy from the Fates and going “no way nerds you’re just lying.“
