The previous expansion's pacing was spectacularly done. This one I've mostly stopped caring about the story because every time I start to get hooked and into it, they shut the door on that part and tell me to go back to escort quests.
This. 100% this.
Also I feel that the wonky pacing of this expansion is a consequence of trying to wrap up all these loose plot ends established in previous expansions that ShB wasn't burdened with handling.
