No, this is a complete divergence of the gameplay I expect. I don't like stealth games. I don't like forced bodysnatcher crap. I don't like that the order in which you must do things is completely unknown but absolutely vital. I read the description. I knew I could not tangle with a bot so I spent most of the mission backtracking where I'd already been in order to remember what I'd seen previously and where it was. I spent 4 minutes looking for the !@#$ pilot because lo and behold...I apparently cannot tell the direction a NOISE CAME FROM. When I found it, I was angered to the point of not giving a damn.

Finally getting everything assembled and in the bot...only to find out that you can't move. You can't do anything other than "clear a path". With what, my amazingly long ****? What path? What area? It's all bordered. Am I supposed to shoot things? Seems like it was all I could do, but what do I shoot? If you want to make me feel powerless, blind my character and make me walk on a rope over a pit full of spikes. Same difference to me. At least I know what I'm supposed to do. In this, no. Stupid quest. Stupid design. Stupid everything.

No, these kinds of grab-ass randomness quests irk me. I don't care to know what it's like outside of the WoL's body. I don't play that character. I don't give a crap.
I can understand being upset about not being able to grab the fuel immediately. It wouldn't take much effort to have the Warrior of Light internally muse on the idea of using Magitek to escape if you got there first.

But the rest is heavily conveyed. The leg of the Magitek is sparking. The device tells you its leg is damaged when you examine it and can't move. I believe it is even called damaged Magitek Reaper. The pilot might have also said something about it. And because you can't move, you're pointed directly at the mobs the quest expects you to kill to clear a path forward, with everything after being a straight line.
