Managed to finish it late last night (Sunday). No skipping (though I did clip some dialog short because of certain characters I hate after I read the dialog) and did a couple of extra things inc. unlocking flying and un-fogging each zone map. Not necessarily on the lore front, though I'm sure there will be argument there as well, but I have a feeling this expansion/patch could be quite controversial. In many ways, it's very much NOT ShB while still very much needing ShB to have existed.
