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

[Xylira]

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

And people thought it was hard?

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.
