Although if you purchase the Before the Shadow expansion, you can both choose to start in Swanfleet (but don't do this. The individual intro story beats are very nice. Pick one of those).
Graphics

The score (music), sound, lighting, mood, storytelling, overall environment design is done soooo well that you really get immersed into the feel of each region.

Difficulty

Good character customization, combat shows it's age but I have seen much worse.
