Not at all. It’s one of the very few games where I didn’t skip any cutscenes. I also found it extremely easy to follow along, and also continue the main quest lines. I’ve never finished skyrim, and not just because of the modding rabbit hole, I just never gave a shit about the story. (I honestly think bethesda is extremely overrated for games, but thats another thing entirely). Even though I found the story easy to play and actually got invested in it, the side quests and side stories were just as fun. Although I don’t think I have ever played any mission as fun and different then drunk dialing while dressing up. That shit was hilarious.
