The Venat Cutscene

Poor storytelling, selective memory on the part of the writers and uncomfortably haphazard course correction of the established plot to have certain characters be perceived in alignment with the devs' wishes, basically.

While I agree it was haphazard, it is the devs' job to have their characters be written and perceived in alignment with their intentions. That in itself is not a failure. The problem is that they don't seem to have had a clear, consistent vision of what that alignment was, or how her portrayal in one part of the story would relate to other parts.

That's what I was alluding to by "course correcting the plot", i.e. amending what we've seen so far to make their current chosen path more palatable or credible, even if it conflicts with previous information or impressions.

Perhaps that wasn't as clear in my post as it seemed in my head - or not as obvious for those who don't frequent certain threads in this section of the forum, hah.
