I didn’t get the “side quest” feel at any part of this game. It all felt deliberate to me. I would like to know more about the Seraphites too, but I don’t really get how they were underused. The game would be pushing 80 hours, if they really fleshed out the WLF-Seraphite conflict and then the game would have actually lost focus (for real). A disagreement or dissatisfaction with a story and a loss of focus are two different things that may or may not happen regardless of style choice.
As it stands, right now, the story is pretty solid, other than the post-apoc “cloth shortage”, when standing in a room filled with cloth lol xD
