I agree with everything you said except for this line.

IBS and SotO are slightly below Dawntrail in writing quality, just shorter (except the DRM festival in IBS), and there were absolutely wastes of time in every main story. It gets away with it because even though the writing is laughable and boring in many places, it's at least fun to play. It's not a movie, you're doing things, even while the story is playing out. And if you don't like the story, you don't have to do it, you can go explore on your own and its honestly a perfectly reasonable and fulfilling way to play.
