So the dungeon was this GOOD big thriving city that got Glastheim'd one day? Huh, technically this might have already been slightly shown before because unusually you can find tons of furniture placed in it already (including EVERY type of furniture), and it is the only place in the entire game where you can get books. I guess these story touches being focused on is what those "new dungeon changes" are about
I'm assuming there will be a couple changes in NPC lines after this particularly for the OldMan/Clothier and Mechanic, and maybe how you find the Mechanic. She talks like she was simply bound there on the random floor for X hours like she was gonna die even if simply for starvation if not the skeletons, says nothing about any work or cultists, and even later she doesn't say stuff like "uh whoops can you kill that monster I kind of made earlier
". Imagine if there's a special set room in the dungeon you find her in and it takes a key that you have to kill Skeletron for, maybe even have a 10%-finished MechanicalBrainOfCthulhu in the background there. To go nuts you could even have a half-life mini-cutscene where once you get close you can see her and the main Lunatic Cultist interacting for a second before he teleports away and you don't see him again until the end. And currently the Clothier says he can remember kidnapping her and tying her up and throwing her inside but without any relation to any of the reasons said there, like it was just a random blood sacrifice instead. But this adds meaning to that part where the Dryad says she's centuries old.
It says that the hallow works to stop evil from spreading more, which is something you can actually do with it in the game. And it's saying the Crimson's mouth monsters are simply humans that it overtook.
And allow me to point out that that last page ends with "will you stand up and fight for Terraria against the growing shadows and impending doom?" while the "impending doom" thing is actually what it says while Moon Lord is being summoned for the final fight, so it's like Arc Words now at the beginning and end

And okay so the Old Man isn't evil but is possessed by Skeletron or something, but... Aaaaaa???
But that's always the way it was. His current lines as OldMan & Clothier already say he's not evil himself and he's forced into it from a curse. Which is why he turns good after he gets freed.

and The Eater is clearly a Corruption creature
Nothing ever said the Destroyer is an upgrade of Eater of Worlds story-wise, you accidentally invented that connection. (and the Destroyer might be spines) But the actual BrainOfCthulhu somehow being with the Crimson is unexplained.
