Thanks for playing and leaving your thoughts!
I’m not sure if you’re talking about the illusion of choice on most dialog lines, but I took a note anyway. I think I overdid it and at least you should get some dialog for your wasted stats :)
Note also taken about the collecting aspect, and the uniqueness of each house. I think it should feel like you’re accumulating something as you complete quests, and accomplishing new things to do once you find new places.
