"In from the Cold" Scenario, any way to skip it?

[Minato777]

This is the worst content i've seen so far in this game. the game draws to fucking halt to do this stupid stealth mission and for what? it's not emotional, it's not scary, it's not hard and most certainly not fun.....like what were they thinking? EW has so much stupid shit like this that just waste so much time and nothing else.....


Edit i might as well ask it here but if there is one fucking thing that we can skip. can it be playing as a npc? it is the most mind numbing thing in the game ( and before the white knights accuse me of sucking i dont find them hard ether). it was cute the first time but now it just a extra 10 mins i have to waste cuz game 2 hard can only have 4 buttons.

Please make this happen, I hate these quests, have not did one of them yet that I found enjoyable. I don't want to be a npc, I want to play the class I picked as my main.

I wished they would have put quest markers down if we put it on very easy...because the amount of time I needed even on that difficulty was annoying.

But honestly the most annoying thing was how it did not make any sense...so what if we died from the explosion? What then Zenos? What did we as a character truly learn from this? A few sentences later and all is forgotten. And how did we manage to get there in time when we were not able to walk at the end?

I hate the duties where you're forced to play as a different character and some of the normal solo duties as well. I stopped playing for a while because of the Nadaam solo duty in SB, so yes, in effect, I quit the game over it. However, I've NEVER been so pissed off at SE over something as I was with this particular bit of story. I get that they wanted us to feel powerless in the face of Fancy Dan and Zenos' power, but forcing us out of ourselves for a cheap trick was poor writing. As one of the previous posters said, it broke the trust I had in the writers.

Find some other way to make us afraid. Don't take away our agency, toss us into a solo duty, and still have us miraculously/heroically save the day right at the very end. If they wanted us to feel powerless, make us actually powerless to change the outcome of something meaningful. If we were going to be heroic at the end, let us be heroic all the way through.

This I fully agree with.

This should be an option for those who hate this kind of gameplay

Game design and perspective, I did not like it. I'm one of those types of people who sees as running clock and the adrenaline goes straight to FREEZE! OR makes my heart run in an incredibly stressful way. I did have to do it a second time on very easy.

To simply say "gitgud" like others say is to disregard the types of gameplay everyone prefers or enjoys. I don't play Dark Souls or Bloodborne and games like stealth missions have always been the type I'd struggle with. I think a few adjustments could be made for it to seem MORE easy such that it didn't feel like I was about to go through a very long thing again. I couldn't just pick up things like fuel or keys because of course RPG questing system even though I can pick up med kits just fine without much forethought. The time extension was nice but I literally did wonder if I had 18 minutes to drag my body to the camp and wondered if it seriously thought I was going to fight while I was doing that.

Yeah I'm not overly fond of belittling people because they happen to lile something different, or perhaps don't do well in certain types of gameplay.

I'd fully support adding a few things to easy to make it actually easy. The MSQ being largely a solo experience giving an option for an easier experience wouldn't take away from those of us that liked it as is.

It's fine. A little rough on the edges, but it isn't that hard. The problem is the game has never prepared its players for this. The damages of 8 years of trash quests/fate are important.

The QTE can be removed, though. Remove all QTE, stop adding them, it was already has-been 10y ago. It's pathetic.

One of the best, immersive, and dramatic solo duties in the game and people hate it because they actually have to think for a little. Sad to see.

[Raim]

Cant you just fail it quickly then set it to Very Easy and steamroll it? Seems like a silly pointless threat to quit the game over one duty remotely challenging you.
