Well yeah, the Raisin definitely could have used some more back story and introduction.
Lorne stated multiple times that MO broke his hearth and it's easy to see why, there are way to many narrative shortcuts and shortcomings.

For me, I think what disappointed me the most about MO is we never got to see the sacred Mudokon queen or the mechanical Shrink that watched over her as she was trapped in some glukkon vault somewhere. That was originally supposed to be a part of the story somehow, and it's unclear whether we were supposed to break her free of her restraints and bring her back to the safety of some cave somewhere to start some kind of rebellion, or if it'd be more of a tragic glance at what they've done to her to motivate the player in the adventure to fight the industrialists.
The way I envisioned it was us going to see her crumpled up in her depression inside some vault somewhere, hooked up to a bunch of machinery, and Abe would break in to see her to seek advice on what to do to help the Mudokon people and she would show you your destiny or whatever before security comes rushing in which forces you to flee. Imagine the rush that'd give, it'd be for a great slig run level and along the way you'd get to see a lot of really dark scenery.
