The Exposition Dump is a trope of fantasy and scifi. "10,000 Years Ago, King Valnor..." type of stuff. It's clumsy but it gets the reader/viewer right into a fictional setting. The Idiot Dump is another tactic. Everyone in the story knows about the setting. But ONE character is an idiot, and asks the obvious questions -which are the same questions the reader/viewer has. Another technique is to "show" and not "tell" anything. Society, culture, technology, etc all demonstrate their properties and it falls on the reader/viewer to examine the work and put it together. As long as you dont use too much technobabble/jargon/polysylabic names/etc.

What I really wonder is how this will play out as to quests when Plains of Eidolon launches.

That aside, I felt Rell voice acting was good. Don't know if he was realistically autistic, but I understood what they were trying to convet.
