It's good, but not amazing. Each of the 5 main fractions has It's own main quest line with 5 quests, and any given character can only do one of the lines. There isn't much dialog, and don't expect a giant tree of options and alternate endings in each line, but the writing is solid and the themes are varied and interesting. After the main quest line there is a DLC quest about rebuilding a town with some lackluster town-building mechanics. I ended up not finishing this with my first character, it was too tedious. It wasn't horrible either though, I just don't have that much free time.

There are lots of side quests spread over the land, but there is a lot of open space in this game, so you will end up referring to the fandom wiki in order to find some of them. The focus is more on exploration, survival, crafting, and optimization than a detailed and branching story.
