The story aspect of the game has been criticized for its lack of engaging narrative, with players noting that the initial quests are uninspiring and fail to provide meaningful context or character development. The early gameplay primarily consists of mundane interactions with shopkeepers and repetitive tasks, leaving players feeling disconnected from the story.
“Nothing in the first 15 minutes told me much of any story, other than shopkeepers telling me they are shopkeepers, and captain guys telling me to go kill raptors.”
“Quests are awful.”
