The storytelling and world-building this game has is incredible, but what really stands out above all else is characterisation.

Every. single. character. has a solid backstory, ties with other sub-plots, personal relationships, individual endings depending on how close they are with their allies. You can - realistically - fall in love with every single playable character, and even some of the unplayable ones are also easy to love and/or hate!

There are some weak storylines, especially when compared with the two "big ones". However, playing every path at least once is really worth it. Besides, you don't even have to buy three different games to get 100% in the main story! so that's really cool!
