The story is considered interesting and well thought out, despite a bland narration and simplicity that some players find acceptable. However, the repetitive nature of quests, where story quests feel indistinguishable from side quests, detracts from the overall experience. Players express a desire for more engaging set pieces and a clearer distinction between main and side narratives.

- “Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
- “The questing is incredibly repetitive (the same exact quests over and over).”
- “The story isn't so much bad as it is simple, which I have no issue with given that there were more set pieces and more of an actual campaign.”
