What I dislike far more and EW is especially guilt of this is the constant exposition/ recap speeches of something that happened during the quest you are currently doing.
You gather information, meet up with your exposition squad and they recap everything you just read. Not even shortened not even with some infinity stone brain conclusions. No, just repeating what you know and maybe with some captain obvious conclusions.
And these recaps are usually pretty long-winded which just makes the interaction with the Scions even more boring.

Come one, I am able to read and remember things for the time it takes to complete one quest. I'll not take a 3 months break during a quest, I promise.
