It is a turn based rpg, multiple endings and quests are pretty much up to you which ones you take or refuse.

Trust me. 200+ hours of gameplay if you buy the package, and it's on sale 90% of the time.

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
I love the continuation of G4's quality of life improvements like no inventory weight limit, the new class available for the player character (Sorceress!), and the stunning array of meaningfully different factions to choose from.
