And while I haven't exactly done a hard numerical analysis... I'm pretty sure at least SB had so many more memorable solo duties. Naadam, the Zenos fights, the goofy roe Garlean encounters come to mind immediately.
Garlean Roe, Zenos 1, Zenos 2, Naadam, Infiltrating the city... That's 5 fights. 5 fights in, what, 12 hours of cutscenes? This is not my idea of action-oriented game design. It was, what, an hours worth of gameplay? The rest of the time is spent sitting back, reading, watching cutscenes, and walking from one place to another. I guess it doesn't come as a surprise to me that expansions are just more of the same - plot in lieu of gameplay.
