Weighing in on role quests: I did only one so far (didn't feel in a hurry to do them all) and it was the melee one. It was pretty unpalatable and cartoony to me. Felt more like I was playing a Hildibrand sidequest. One moment I was being told about how someone got deceived and brutally mutilated, and the next I was being exposed to some Hildibrand-esque goofy faces and other cartoon visuals and noises. Very tonally inconsistent.
