The storyline is linear, there are no choices for you to make, but the game offers a very neatly made illusion of freedom, mainly thanks to the free-roaming and exploration – the goal is always the same, but often there are various paths to it. The plot is also a giant political intrigue, with many twists that make it particularly enjoyable. Side quests will often give you a better insight on what is going on in the world, and it's amazing how almost everything is connected to the main plot in some way. It's also a good idea to get a pencil and a sheet of paper while playing, and note everything you find, because there is no journal, and sometimes you might have a lot of things to do and just forget what had to be done somewhere.​
