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

So it sounds like they did an excellent job in your case. It's obvious that it was intended to generate intense feelings of anger and frustration that our body would be getting used to trick our friends.

I'd rather have quests like these where we have a good reason why we're not playing our chosen character than the "Hi, WoL, you're now randomly Thancred" duties.

actually no, they didn't. the point of the quest in the first place was to make you angry at Fandaniel, it was lost on me as the only feelings I had toward him at any point was pity(I found him pitiful from the start),the quest only made me angry at the devs not Fandaniel. I for one would rather not have the role play quests like these be part of the main scenario at all. I don't mind them being in side quests where I can choose to play them or not. but alas I'm vastly outnumbered in this it seems.

TL: DR: I was never angry at Fandaniel at any point in any of the story(which was the whole point of this quest, to get you angry at him). only anger I had was toward the devs for some of their choices.
