I sort of agree; I really like all of the new stuff that's been added recently (missions especially!) and I think the recent events have been great as well, but I also would like to see the "plot" moving forward, as in learning more about the wider world beyond the barrier. It's a little jarring that although many characters are actually getting to go out there now and see things, our actual understanding of what's happening isn't changing.

I'd love to see some more interactive world-building; characters learning plot points while on the special missions, for instance, or another NPC that has a perspective different from the ones we've encountered so far, to give the characters more to think about. The things Charles suggested below could also be an interesting place to start.
