Did you at least finished the chapter 2 before criticizing the game's lore/story?
Checked the walkthrough and no, I am somewhere halfway through 2nd chapter it seems. ok, I will take you for your word, though I have heard from other sources that it doesn't get better. But maybe overcompensating-midriff will have a compelling story arc afterall. Maybe they will turn those awkward dialogue trees and cringy writing into something entertaining. You didn't sell it well though.
Only because it doesn't have cinematic CGI after every single combat, doesn't means that the game lacks story.
I never said the game doesn't have story, nor do I recall asking for CGI. Nor did I even complain about Pathfinder's presentation, which I think is quite charming.
