I'm playing the "demo" and just met an elf companion who said something like "whoopsie! My gods are real and they're going to destroy the world! 🤷" And it just undercuts the whole story.

Marvelization is the perfect way to describe it. There are zero stakes.

Origins had humor and snark, but it was mostly used in service of the story and themes.
