In the words of Todd Howard, it just works. Except that it actually does, because DE is very good at doing a lot with a little.

For years their lore has built upon themselves until they've become solidified in lore. They only need to drop a few hints. Back when Warframe was considered partly a sequel to Dark Sector, there was a lot of speculation that Warframes were but related to the technocyte virus/infestation. The Sacrifice all but confirmed that (even if removed from Dark Sector's origins).

It's not so much literary mastery as they are just very sensible with how they lore drop. Hint with small things, then use it to create a more solidifed story (AKA, the cinematic stories) later on and move on from there. Even operators had been given an element of foreshadowing in the 2014 opening with Vor how he stated that frames had energy that came from within. While they may not have directly meant anything with that statement, they did something with it and made it into an incredible presentation.

Ember needs an Umbra first though imho. She's been rather lackluster and lame for years and could use a slight mechanical overhaul to be more smoothly implemented and more powerful.
