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

[Arazehl]

Sure, I still need to finish it, I did the duty portion of it, or first if there are multiple. From the start to crawling out of the city. But unless Zenos does something major while in the char's body, the whole quest will amount to nothing. I would rather go back go do random chores as they were better written.

Ahh yes random chores is much easier to get through, but would have had much less impact in that particular sequence of events. I'm glad they didn't ruin that moment by a "step and fetch" quest. I suggest doing on Very Easy mode to cause you less frustration. No shame in it, I did it in that mode for the same reason. It still has the same impact on the story without being super flustered.
