DT simply can't stick to a theme, being moreso composed of several unfocused and underdeveloped sub plots that get only lip service. SHB and EW don't have that problem. In those xpacs you were getting hours of cutscenes that were balancing character development and the themes virtually the whole entire 40 hours.
DT has a very strong theme IMO (it’s probably the strongest representation of legacy in the game even more so than elpis and the ancients) it’s just it’s done in such a “make it understandable for 4 year olds” way that it brings it down

Seriously nobody could develop the theme in a more detailed and pronounced way than “remember on a rock good, remember as endless bad”
