MMMmmm, i really don t think like you, i think this game is more 1/3 of the story and half of side li for now...
It been near 2 years that i don t play so, i don t remeber exactly but in the main quest the old king in the forbidden house tell you you will have to get all the gift to go to the end, maybe 10 gift if im remember and we only meet 3 of them, the elf in the start who was old, the drunk elf and mad who was lock in the cell... We need to meet a lot more. And for the side li, it left the farmer girl, the princess who give you the pass of the city, the wife of the guard who plot with the matchmaker... but the map is still big maybe there will be more of side li.
That what effraid me 2 years for a side girl now... will you see the end in 20 years...? Because for me it s no, I'm not really interested anymore (it was a nice game but the wait make it not worth it). Even if the update come, i will not play it.
So good patience to those who remain, you are going to need it...
