This isn't like a book, where you are presented with the story. If you don't want to delve into item descriptions and lore, the game's story basically comes out as "ring some bells, kill bosses, incinerate yourself to preserve fire or let someone else do it." Unless you feel like doing some reading, the stuff you encounter is just random. It's inverted dramatic irony.

I don't know, I kind of like it. There's so few typical literary devices used (don't get me wrong, tropes are tools) that it all seems more realistic, except with fantasy elements. The "hero" doesn't know what he or she is getting into. It's just a continuous fight for your life if you don't pay attention to the lore.

I've probably said the same thing many times in this post... So... >.}
