Honestly, I can relate, as someone who has a sister who can't and won't return to the game because of the same reason. It's a shame because there are many ways to fix it - for example making each expansion separate so that you can take your time or, blasphemy, being able to make it optional - but let's be totally honest here: they won't many any changes. They have realized how big of a potential money grab is the story skip and level skip potion and the fanbase will always protect this practice by saying "Oh but it's a final fantasy, it has to have a story, you can't play the new expansion without doing the previous one", so I'm afraid nothing will change: if anything it'll get worse and worse.

I mean all I can say in response is "So you'd be fine if Witcher 3 was locked behind the first two games, because you have to play the first games in order to understand it".
You can replace the Witcher 3 game with anything even movies, but as you might've guessed you can play any sequel game in any order...sure you lose some story parts if you don't play a previous installment but the choice is yours.

PS: Oh and if someone might say that "these are expansions not sequels" then I guess people forgot that SWTOR allows you to skip expansions and directly go to the last ones.
