I don't really like fantasy games. I prefer space and the future. I didn't play the first two games and open world games bore me. But the backstory (which technically includes the first two games) is so good. But once I saved the mages and went to Adamant Fortress, I was really hooked. The universe is so deep and I like that they didn't make elves the race that always has their shit together. And I haven't even beaten the game, but the whole Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts mission and the Trespasser DLC ending are so good. When you finally understand the Lost Elf song from the soundtrack, damn. So much epicness. Plus, the multiplayer is addicting.
