The story emphasizes resilience and the unpredictability of life, highlighting personal growth through challenges. While the quests are engaging and foster faction relationships, the lack of clarity in quest options can lead to confusion, as players are often compelled to accept quests without understanding their context.
- “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 quests were also enjoyable, as they provided a challenge and allowed you to manage relationships with other factions in the game.”
- “Is this supposed to happen on the very first mission?...”
- “For example, we are asked if we want to accept a quest, but there is really no reason why we would ever not want to accept a quest.”
- “This is especially odd since we are never told what the quest is before we are given the option to accept it.”
