In fact, to mitigate that I believe we're going to see a lot more intrigue where the story is concerned. 3.0 certainly had a lot of twists that made things much more difficult to solve through brute force alone.
Problem with intrigue is that this is an MMO, not a telltale series adventure game. Like in Diablo 3 where you take on the Lord of Lies by beating up every enemy you come across. All the intrigue needs to come in the form of fetch quests and kill quests. Instead we will fight against "teh best fiter ever lolz" on the Garlean side, who was some very high item level weapons.
