There's way too many long cutscenes too. It's not even a game, its an interactive movie for children. There's hardly even any combat. I like the idea of the story , but it feels really scattered like my adhd brain on a bad day, and I don't feel the 95 plot twist was a good idea. This expansion cut down on the good, and made up for it with increasing the tedium of everything. I think the patches will make for a great story, if it is delivered better. The msq felt a lot like the formula they use for patch quests. extremely dragged out with too many cutscenes, too many boring and tedious tasks... but the one good thing in that regard, is that theres less solo instances. there's usually way too many of those, with their ten minute duels vs 1 npc with 56 trillion hp.
