I kindda liked the KotFE story. I actually play this game because of story but that is also the problem. I love fantasy books, but I'm not going to read one book 8 times in a row. And I'm certainly not enjoying the idea of running star fortress 48 times.
Bioware added a unique feature to this game with 8 class story and then abandoned the concept, for financial reasons, understandably. But without it there is not much to set it apart from other games.
