The thing is, the series was always about the protagonist and their journey:

Corvo righting the wrongs done to him, Daud (in the DLC) changing and becoming better for it, Emily (D2 canonically is about her) accepting her role as Empress and finally coming into her own...

And then there's DotO... which makes it all about the Outsider. Billie's story is just shunted aside. She doesn't make her own destiny: she either follows Daud around like a lapdog, or gets some weird out-of-place "feels" for the outsider whom she literally has no connection to.

It doesn't make sense and is very poor storywriting. It feels as if this got done because the Outsider, who started merely as background flavoring and lore, got super-popular with the "feels" crowd.

In almost no way, is the final expansion a fitting conclusion to the series. The lore is broken, Chaos and other game mechanics were changed, actual TENETS of Arkane's game-design were ignored or abandoned. In my opinion, the expansion is just a mess, and too many good characters and ideas were ruined along the way.
