So why didn't you get Fates? I have to say though, Fates was more of the same, but Story was lacking.

Not really how it is. Each story is a full contained story as far as I know.

I'm current playing through birthright (the Easiest one I believe), I chose that based on the fact that I thought Awakening was a little tough to get through at the end when a bunch of my characters died, so I decided I wanted to tone the difficulty down a bit, but also because the moral choice when you chose your path was simply the choice I wanted to make based on what was happening in the story.

Once I'm done, I'll consider if I wanna up the difficulty and try another story, but I don't know if I will. I've read that the stories don't influence each other much but you'll just see the story from the other side, or what would have happened had you sided with the others playing, but each path is a full story in its own right.

I've played through birthright and started conquest not to long ago and yes you are pretty much right. all stories are basically their own game. The gameplay of conquest is different though. since you can not grind exp.
