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

[Kaurhz]

Liked the instance, hated everything surrounding it. If it were as simple as just pluck our soul out, and into a new body, and one where we have seemingly no combat prowess (yet Zenos retains as much of his prowess as ever), then why wouldn't Fandaniel, or any Ascian for that matter do it in the beginning. I dislike it simply because it does in fact beg that question.

I get the purpose of it, in that it shows a vulnerable side of our character. Albeit terribly handled given that it was only ever by the 'luxury' of our character not even inhibiting their own body. I also feel like they were just building up anticipation for our actual desire to cross swords with Zenos once more. But to be frank that only ended up as another reason on my plate as to why I just simply want rid of him.
