I have never in the entirety of playing this game liked playing as another character. I hated every single one and have the right to. I'd rather these be cutscenes than something I am forced to play out to progress. Its not that they are challenging, they're a major annoyance on several levels and the very LEAST the devs could do is allow me to move around the given buttons we have to our liking. Currently, they don't and it infuriates me.
My major issue with this whole instance is
there is absolutely nothing to guide you where you needed to go.
I legitamately wandered around in circles for 10 minutes trying to find a way out. It didn't need to have obvious markers, but perhaps a certain mocking npc could have been angled in the direction we needed to go? So sorry that my first thought for this quest was find a way to leave the area by the map only to be blocked off by nothing but red dotted invisible walls and had to look up a video to find the area the magitek armor was.
All I really needed was a direction to walk in. Everything else was fine. I should not have to look outside a game to find something when the quest itself should be more than capable of giving me a hint.
