The story aspect of the game is criticized for lacking depth, with many players feeling that the quests primarily serve as tutorials rather than offering engaging narratives. There is a call for more meaningful challenges and individual character quests to enhance the overall experience. After completing the initial tutorial, players find the available content insufficient and lacking in variety.
“The story is engaging and keeps you invested in the characters' journeys.”
“Each character has their own unique backstory that adds depth to the overall narrative.”
“The main storyline is well-crafted, with twists and turns that keep you on your toes.”
“Missing real quests - the current ones just show you how the game works.”
“It seems once you complete the tutorial quests, aside from the optional extra (side) quests, there's really nothing to do.”
“Individual personal quests per character?”
