I think we can all agree on the 'don't send me to the same guy 12 times to go to the same spot to kill the same mobs' sucks.
I'd ask this though. If Tolkien had written the story for a game, and you knew that going in, and you had a year or two lead in to the world from a story standpoint, would you read the quests? |
For me, it's not so much "Do I want to", but "Does gameplay allow me to".
I enjoy reading WoW's quest text but it's difficult to do so when the rest of your group has already mounted and started racing towards the quest target.
Most of the time, I take the quest and read it while I'm riding to my destination, else I don't get a chance to read it at all.
I think cut scenes, in the style that FFXI presented them, are a fantastic way to show key parts of a storyline. That said, even cut scenes are skipped, and you end up with most of your group waiting on you.
I'm not sure if there's a good solution to allow for those who want to enjoy the story to do so, without hindering those that do not. I think that's the main issue.
