The story wasn't dramatically different but both path will will offer a different perspective of same storyline, there are some story detail that different between both path, and you got a different set of character and quest but overall storyline is still the same.
Most of the area you talking about is only accessible if you play a different path of the game. Even if it true i see no reason to complain since CD projekt has promised that all DLC that coming for this game will be free.

Even with texture mod Oblivion doesn't have that level of Parallax mapping :rolleyes:.
The texture is far better though. pretty much the only game other than Crysis that have 4096x4096 texture. So it more equivalent to dx9 Crysis.
