The views, the music, the nifty little details, the NPC followup to your actions, the humor, the party blabber! During combat, Vi was 'silenced'. Combat over, she leveles up. "Mmmph, mmmph, mmmmmph, mmmmmmph!!" she struggles valiantly to express her elation. Hilarious! 
Also love the subtle goodbye from SirTech in their opening logo: the sound of the blimp raising up and flying off to new yonders. So evocative, it really tugs at my heartstrings. So long SirTech, so glad you were in the world for so long.

Elara, I am so humbled. I have YET to even see the opening logo of the game. I'm so anxious to play it, I click right past it!
But I agree completely that this is one of the most immersive multi-character party RPGs that I've ever played. I also love the humor. Have you had to leave the game without pausing and heard the characters sarcastically comment yet? One time, I was fighting a Swallower who was MAULING my party and one of my characters said something like "We could end this quicker if we just lit ourselves on fire!" What a riot!
*Minor spoiler ahead for Arnika Weapons Shop*
I was in the Arnika weapons shop and the armorer is this very right-down-to-business Rapax with horns (forget his name). I asked him "How are you?" and he hauls off on me! He says (paraphrased): "Let's get one thing straight. I'm not your friend, I'm not here to talk to you. I'm here to sell you weapons and armor..."
My jaw just dropped! How refreshing to have a game interact with you in this manner so realistically. How many "adventure parties" asking "How are you?" has this guy actually run into in his life? Tons! I enjoy this sort of thing.
