You can only skip to the start of Shadowbringers (at least for the next two years or so) but they do inevitably have an interest in making you spend longer getting through the game.

More generally though, I found a lot of the enjoyment in the game was just seeing the character interactions, and spending more time developing the personalities of the Scions. I was also eager to find out just what was going on with the Exarch.

Do you take interest in the characters, or just the larger plot?

Also have you done the Crystal Tower raids? That was certainly part of why I was intrigued by what might be happening.
