Something's missing?

User Rating: 7 | Requiem: Bloodymare PC
First of i would like to say that this is my first serious online rpg game and my first review.
My friends were playing the game and they showed me some gameplay and so i decided to give it a try. The game was around 2 Gb without the updates. Few minor adjustments and off to the races!
When I first saw the game i was mesmerized by the looks of it, everything looked great, moving was smooth and so on.
Because this was my first game i didn't notice the little things like absolutely no background music and a lot of walking.
Leveling up at first was no problem for first 15 levels, infact i managed to out level my friends just by solving the idiotic quests like go there talk to him and repeat. I must say it was boring at the beginning but i didn't notice it that much. Later when the quests became harder it was challenging and if you don't have a party that will help you you are doomed to dieing and a lot of walking and believe me it can be frustrating.
Don't get me wrong i think the game is worth playing but something is missing and i can't exactly pinpoint what, it can be all of the above or a lack of stuff that make the game interesting.
I would like to see more options to choose from like skills and character development. I talked to my friends and they all agree that the game is excellent but that something is missing ( except the background music ) and that something makes the games stand in the crowd.
