Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
There's no voice acting, so it can completely devote itself to lots and lots of well written quests - of the main path and off - and sculpt vivid characters not through relying on cutscenes, but with evocative desciptions woven into its character interactions/dialogue text.

I mostly played on Steam Deck which was perfect for it, though sometimes there was minor stuttering when autosaving.
