I agree that the story is not always interesting or told in an interesting way, as for the people who were talking about free skips, you can basically do it, by skipping all cutscènes, and treat the MSQ as it's any other series of quest
The only real issue i notice with MSQ even now, when i'm streaming my alt levelling, is really that some steps seems to have been made just for the sake of ruining the pace

There are too many exemple like when you go talk to NPC 1- triggering a cutscene in wich he will tell you to ask NPC 2 wich is standing NEXT TO HIM- only for NPC 2 to trigger his own Cutscene.... Where you could have had just only 1 cutscene for both of them with a more lively interaction
Or like, why is there a Cutscene for that npc i will never see again, just to tell me about Haukke's Manor ?

If we were to get more MSQ triming or so, for me it shouldn't be about ( is the story too long ? Not interesting ? ), but more about all these extra steps, here and there, with npc you will always meet once, for the sake of one quest, and who actualy add a lot of tiny extra steps and cutscenes
