This is 100% the truth. They complain about the length and pacing of this segment of the story. I wonder though. The devs recently went through this content and streamlined it a fair amount. They made cuts and changes to make it feel and play faster. What im starting to wonder is how much of the complaining is still real, and how much is that these people have heard this part of the story described as "a slog to endure" and are thus coloring their perception of it negatively before they truly get into it.
