Each part of the map has it's own little storyline where you do objectives to fill hearts once filled they are filled. ESO does something similar with self contained story lines in points of interest that you go through, this would be a huge boost and a way of breaking up the MSQ which by it's nature is always going to be more cutscenes than it isn't. So have the MSQ be more to the point, with only the pertinent information dumped on the players for the plot and storyline, and then have the world tell the players the rest of the story of that country region etc etc.
unfortunately, I would take boring MSQ over being level locked to get to the next stage/area.
