Didn't find it as bad as everyone says. The political context and the diverse relation between nations is pretty good and give a strong (enough) sense of living in a complex world.

The major problem for me is that our character is just depicted as "the heroes", logically helping everyone while receiving nothing in return. I found that it easily breaks the immersion and shadows the direct implications of our character in his world.

That said, many characters are well written with a grounded attitudes and believable emotions dilemmas. The story is a bit on the long side with many quests being just FedEx bullshit, but overall I think it's pretty good. It expands the universe of the game and treat a politic conflict with enough realism for me to be immerged in it.

PS: I talk about both the Expansion and the Post Expansion as it directly follows it.

Power lead both to freedom and despair, Oh and don't forget your cookie 🍪
