Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Speaking of manifesto, while the writing is for the most part pretty enjoyable... this game suffers from lazy twitter writer syndrome.
119 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The tavern interior looks pretty nice, with good models, textures, and animations, but it's always the same; there's no variation between games, you can't move anything around, and any modifications or improvements to the tavern make no visual difference.

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
-Seemingly at random camping events will break and not allow you to select any options. (once again, either main menu and reload save if you're ballsy or full game restart and lose any quest progress you made before it occurred)
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
It's simple and does not require much mentally draining dedication, yet is easily immersive with wonderous music.
6 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
Quests range from almost too easy to how did anyone even survive the trip home.
