Actually, the main scenario quests take some very dark turns,
That's definitely true. There were quite a few darker themes I was surprised and enjoyed in-game.
I was referring more to the bright and vivid color palette, general tone of the musical score and the selection of emotes offered to the player. From a design perspective, it's an optimistic place. All those facets are angling towards a warm, inviting game where fun is first priority (which is a great thing!)
I just think that in keeping with that mindset, the game allows for a wider interpretation of what at first sounds like an exclusive "battle to the death." The personalities of the NPC Miqo'te don't backup the assumption that all of their Nuhn challenges would be open and shut cases of socially acceptable homicide. Although it certainly can be that in some or even many cases.
