    Well, because they were trying to tell two stories, but both become compromised and condensed in order to fit into one expansion. The story would have been more coherent and less rushed if it had happened as originally planned.

    Not that I get too deep in story threads specifically, but that's my opinion.

    I disagree. In fact, this split of stories has generally been the case for expansion releases. Part 1 always has the story that finishes with a moment of triumph and they roll credits. Part 2 ends on some kind of cliffhanger.

    Nothing felt particularly rushed, though I'm sure covid still had a substantial impact on things.
