They have things that have you skip the main story content in their shop while that seems gimmicky if you want to be into the end game quick and easy that's your way. I will say though however you're missing out on the game as a whole as it has a good amount of ground to cover and story as well. The plot while be simple in turn there's always the twists that you encounter that make you watch. I think the issue though that people are griping about is that they look at how many they have to do as a list and then they get stressed out. Well you're getting stressed about over nothing to be frank and should pace yourself accordingly to get through it. If you really don't like the story that much then you most likely don't like the game at all , or at least cheating yourself. The msq is fine the way it is, just pace yourself through it and enjoy it. My two cents about it all.
