My thoughts on the story? Rather than go bit by bit, I'm going to hit it with my overall thoughts. This may be the best written the game has ever been. I've laughed, cried, smiled, and felt more emotion this entire expansion than I've ever felt in the game. I have not seen many things, if any, in the expansion that were nonsensical or not well foreshadowed ahead of time. So much more lore given to us here than we've ever had before. Ishikawa and the whole writing team outdid themselves this time, and I daresay it may be hard for the game to ever hit this high note again in storytelling.
