So, I was expecting a sandbox/exploration game that allows the player to forge their own path (i.e. the description of the game). So, it was disappointing to get into the game and first be dumped into a "the witches wiped your memory and also your a prodigy" plot. But upon getting off the island, I'm met by an apparition that starts me on a "Your a demon hunter! Hunt the world-destroying demon" quest.

So, is this linearity/uniformity "everyone is the hero" thing gonna stick through launch, or is it an alpha placeholder?
