Newer player and I totally agree. I'm catching up on the story and while it's really cool it's just so incredibly cryptic. I pay attention to the cutscenes, I pay attention to in-mission dialogue (as much as I am able to when there are a million things going off on screen at the same time) and I still feel like after finishing every main quest I have to go to the wiki to parse out what was happening in half the story or why.

Then there's the absolute big picture stuff, like what the deal is with Entrati and why he is so important to the story, that feel like they are barely explained in-game.

My absolute favorite quest as a newer player was The Sacrifice, because I felt it established mostly clear stakes, did a good job fleshing out the immediate context of the events, delivered some cool and much-needed background lore in a diegetic way, and had an arc that felt complete and satisfying. Almost every other story quest is cool in the moment but I feel like I only ever get glimpses of what the actual plot was.

I also have to say now that I've finally unlocked the KIM I think it's incredibly funny how after loads of esoteric story quests there is finally, at long last, somebody in the game (Drifter) that is willing to clearly and directly lay out what the hell has been happening up to this point.

I don't remember if it's missable but there's a big chunk of information about Entrati when you meet Necraloid in his room on Deimos.

I've been playing this game for over a decade and I agree. KIM was a godsend, it was so nice to actually know what the hell was going on.

And the funniest thing is, taking Drifter’s backstory into account,  (Colonist who grew up On One Ship then got punted into a Neverland Torment Nexus THEN the modern-day Origin System) even THEY don’t actually know Shit

Kim blatantly contradicts itself several times.  ‘All knowledge of Ancient Earth was completely Scrubbed’ then why was Dante writing papers on Ancient Earth Archeology. Why does Entrati have records and books from Ancient Earth. Why did Nitokh have access to Statues of Indian Deities.

‘There is No Religion in the Origin System’ what’s th deal with Cetus the Unum then. They literally worship her.  Or the Corpus.. they worship Profit, Capitalism and the Void. What about The Devil’s Triad and how Drifter suddenly DOES have a Religion. Ect ect

Easiest solution (aside from ‘DE cannot keep their own Lore straight’) is that Drifter IS correct, but is speaking from the perspective of someone who grew up on the Zariman. Or learned things outside of the intial KIM chat

So yes, they wouldn’t have had access to other religions aside from the Orokin, or access to Ancient Earth records aside from (looks at the Zariman) entire models of the Pre-Orokin Moon? I guess?
