Of course it's all in the delivery.
This is actually kind of my point. And by 'kind of' I mean 'exactly'. But you shouldn't RP that the story elements of that patch are complete and finished until the next patch is released to continue the story, which is when SE completes and finishes them. Otherwise you're disallowing other people you come in contact with to make those events a plot point in their own RP, because to you, they are in the past.
