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

[CaptainFishSticks]

Wait, hang on..."In From the Cold" is the one immediately after entering Garlemald, right?

And people thought it was hard?

EDIT: I have just actually completed it and although I died once, I don't understand what the complaint is. I thought it was excellent.

It's the one

where your body is stolen and you get put in some rando soldier and have to try and escape the city.

Personally I didn't find it difficult, though I can see why some people would. I just really disliked it because it felt way too heavy handed for them trying to make you feel helpless, and the story reason for why it was happening felt really forced. To the point where it jarred me out of the story and had me disliking the writers for making it happen in the first place. The key mash portion and forcing you try crawl for the last bit of it had me rolling my eyes, I just wanted to be over with it and have control of my character back. Honestly they could have just removed that entire sequence of events from the MSQ and the story would have been better for it IMO.

No idea where the frustration is even coming from, all you do is stealth>incapacitate then click the things. Are people seriously struggling with this?

This is a different scenario fight than the one I think you are thinking of.

That was the one before this, which requires sneaking through the destroyed town (without stealth), finding the mech, fuel and key for it. then starting it up to destroy al the mobs at the exit gate.

This thread is a perfect encapsulation of why the game has been getting aggressively easier and easier with each passing year, any modicum of a challenge and there are cries of anguish. This quest was done brilliantly and paying even the smallest bit of attention and reading the text is enough to get by which apparently is unacceptable.

what the hell are you talking about? nothing about this quest is hard? all it serves is to waste time. adding a fail mechanic to it is only there to waste more of our time. between the scarce story progressions theres a plethory of mundane tasks to waste our time. this expansion is an insult to us.

Fixed that for you. I'm having a good time when I can get in, you don't speak for "us"

neither do you speak for everyone. if some ppl have trouble with a quest, then the quests needs to be changed.
