Has it always been like this or...?

You can't blame the players, it's the developer's fault, they mixed the cutscene part of the game with the actual gameplay part of the game. When ppl q into dungeon they want to play, beat up bad guys. Not watch massive amounts of cutscenes. They dont need to flood anymore dungeons with cutscenes. Fortunately I think they learned from this mistake, Keeper of the Lake and the other trials aren't full of cutscenes.
