I didn't have much of an issue finding where to go vs the story. I just went in head first and started exploring and now have about 60 quests currently. Some were easy while some are glitched out and I can't finish no matter what. So I decided that I was going to murder anyone that sympathized or was part of the magistrates and I got a lot of broken quests but the "main" quest lines are advancing just fine.

I'm more saddened by the amount of broken quests that are out there. I did everything they told me to do but won't complete or move forward so I just killed the quest people and took the loot. I'm hoping that it's just a glitch on the character you choose to work with and I can replay the game later and will be able to complete them.
