"Neat little touch"? The Cimerora portion of the DA arc was silly and gratuitous.

Another neat bit in part 5 is the mention of Romulous being defeated by time travellers - which is written in the same way to allow players to recgnize it as a reference to themselves if they've played the ITF, but is also vague enough to take in all the alignments.

Especially if by silly and gratuitous you mean completely essential for anything about the story to make any sense at all. Or perhaps silly and gratuitous means full of interesting missions with either unique tilesets or unique takes on existing ones? My last guess is that by silly and gratuitous you mean wicked sweet, brah, killer.

I don't know, it seems like the easiest way to hand wave finding an ancient Mediterranean MacGuffin under modern America. It's there because we've going to put it there because we know that's where we'll found it.

The Abrams is one of the most effective war machines on the planet. - R. Lee Ermy.
Q: How do you wreck an Abrams?
A: You crash into another one.

There are any number of ways to do that; none of the good ones require adding time travel into an already convoluted and cliche-ridden plot.

Yet the general response is that this was a good plot

If you'd mentioned a certain youth that most people think looks like a girl and sings like a **** then I'd have had to hunt you down and throttle you with your own innards.
