Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Quests generally serve as means of progress and opening the game systems up for you, a ton of really important stuff and gear, passives, upgrades are locked behind quests, which are in turn locked behind skill requirements, so it creates a natural progression as you play A particularly excellent quest series involves you renovating a fort which will then take part in a battle and serve as a really great skilling hub that will have money making potential.
