How good is story at this game?
I am only like 8,9h into the game so I am wondering if the story will be generic RPG story.

How good are characters?

I like the game so far, but the story doesn't intrigue that much I must say. However after 8,9h I probably can't know much. When does the story pick up? I know there are 3 main parts.

The story is great. So far in my gaming life only Disco Elysium and Planescape Torment have a better story, though Act 3 gets a little weaker. I'd advise you to keep playing, after all you can't refund it. At the end of Act 2 you will know all you need to know except details and the ending.
EDIT: Forgot about Mass Effect, that one is better than this. Again, just my opinion.

The story is...serviceable. You shouldn't expect to be blown away.

No, no, I am not gonna refund it. I like the game, I will finish it. I just don't feel excited so far to play it so much. That is why I am asking how is story later.

Act 2 is the best Story act. Act 1 you still know too little.

These things are subjective but I really enjoyed it. Its not lord of the rings or anything but the characters are interesting and engaging the plot hangs together pretty well throughout despite some twisting and turning. But in the end, a bit like the tabletop game the more you put into your personal narrative the more you'll get out.

Ah okay, yeah, I really like the choices that I can make and throwing dice. Rest seems okay so far.

Act 1 has a lot of worldbuilding. It can be easy to lose focus by just wandering around.
Act 2 is much more focused in what you're doing. Still plenty of side content to do, but much of it still relates to the overall Act 2 plot.
Act 3 meanders again. There's a lot of content, much of which doesn't really come into the main plot. Act 3 is also where I started seeing bugs and other issues.

Overall, the story is fine. I have my opinions on it, but if you're a fan of these types of games, I'd definitely recommend it.

Personally I think the good point of this game is actually the variety of options to solve quests and situations.

But related to main story I found it quite disappointing and lacking, to explain myself no matter what you do in act 2 you will be forced to fight the same bosses, compared to act 1 in which at least you can choose a side of the conflict.

Act 3 I didn't bother to complete it and will wait for the definite edition.

I am mostly playing it for the choices tbh. Thanks for input.
