The game's main quest is shorter than anticipated and lacks clarity in how to influence its ending, but the numerous side quests available early on significantly enhance player choices and outcomes.
“The main quest may be shorter than expected when taken on its own, and it’s not always clear what you need to do to make meaningful changes to its finale. However, the multitude of side quests available almost from the start can have a surprisingly powerful effect on the options you have when you get there.”

“To add insult to injury, it's virtually indistinguishable from the other entries in the same series - could the developer not be bothered to vary the UI or mechanics?”
“It's just gameplay.”
