I bought the game after seeing the early access trailer, which featured the tadpole plot, so I was interested in that plot from the start! Raphael’s voice actor is also great!
I think the main story is focused unlike sandbox game stories, which I often think are boring. I think Larian did a great job of letting you go where you want but not losing the focus on story. The pacing and story focus remind me of Bioware games such as Dragon Age and Mass Effect, which I think are great!
I also love some of the NPCs, Halsin of course!🐻🐻🐻, and for villains I think Auntie Ethel and Raphael are great.
For me it works well having a mystery unfold as the game progresses and learning more about the Absolute and what is going on with the tadpoles!
