“Main story - the main story is quite linear; it could perhaps have 2 endings, but then that would be a different game.”
“Side quests - some side quests are not clear what to do, and I had to turn to the guide for 2-3 of them in order to complete every one.”
“I emailed the developer about this and a couple of small bugs, and he said he is going to make some of the side quests clearer and improve the continuity, so by the time you read this it might be a non-issue.”
