I feel like one of the weirdest parts of playing old Exceptional Stories in Fallen London is the part where it really exposes you to just how flat a bunch of the 2015-17 era treatments of basically every nonhuman faction were. It's one of those things where it really throws into stark highlight how much more fleshed-out the setting has become in recent years now that there's a concerted effort to move beyond just "everything is spoooooky and wants to GET you"
