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

[Drkdays]

I didn't mind the action portion. I think it was a good stab at thinking outside the box, even if it was annoying to have to figure out everything in the fly. There really is no prep for this quest (no indicators or even vague "go this way" directions) any time beforehand to help players. There was no escalation to this style of quest. BUT I did figure it out-grumbling and growling the entire time-so it's far from impossible.

My real problem is the GAPING PLOT HOLE presented by our absurdly casual kidnapping followed by an apparently effortless relocation of our supposedly powerful and ancient spirit.

Well...at least next playthrough I can respond to this ridiculous treatment of our ostensibly semi-divine character by immediately KO'ing myself, setting difficulty to "lol just click this button and you're done," followed by pretending this quest never happened (which is easy since it's never even brought up again) and moving on with the actually meaningful, and less personally offensive, epic storyline.

Really, we spend far too much time proving how pathetically impotent we are to Zenos and how little control we have over events.

For me, Zenos and his antics are the only true black mark on this otherwise stellar expansion.
