Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Bought this game because I had fun playing it back in the day when it first came out, did not complete it then looking forward to it this time around, the game is immersive, the level of attention to detail for its time is insane and still I would say to this date it sets a decent baseline benchmark, where characters had some meaningful depth and nuance, your choices matter to an extent but well at least it not pushing dry plain woke ♥♥♥♥ narrative story like modern titles, the character and their story feel so correct.
