The story aspect of the game involves a patient exploration of a vast map where players engage with numerous NPCs, each offering quests that contribute to the narrative and world-building. Players must complete 69 character quests, which often require crafting and delivering items, while also uncovering hidden treasures through interactions with these characters. The progression of quests not only enhances the storyline but also leads to visible changes in the game environment.
- “In addition to the building aspect, there are many NPCs for you to talk to all over the map, some of which simply give you helpful information or tidbits of story, while others ask you to complete quests for them.”
- “The quests entail crafting and producing various goods and items and bringing them to the NPC in order to complete said quest, and with each completed quest, there are additions and changes to the vicinity surrounding the NPC whom you just completed the quest for.”
- “Certain NPCs will give you hints about where to find these hidden treasures and eventually mark their location on the map as you complete quests for them.”
- “The story feels disjointed and lacks depth, making it hard to stay engaged with the characters and their quests.”
- “While there are many NPCs to interact with, the dialogue often feels repetitive and uninspired, failing to add meaningful context to the story.”
