mostly i just have such terrible memories of the ARR story that i just could never get fully invested in the game's plot or characters, even though it admittedly improved in the expansions. i started skipping around level 30 or so back in the day after trying to watch scene and it just got so unbearable.

i came back years later and played post-ARR and the expansions for real but i could never get past the associations with how bad ARR was.

i actually like most of the characters that debut post-ARR. lyse is the best.

i got through three expansions and it wasn't terrible but i started skipping again during post-ShB because i just find all the "let's sit around and talk for 30 minutes about why aether works the way it does and let's go into this tomb and learn the history of these ancient people" so boring. i hate history lessons. also the game has too many villains whose story is "we are evil and we want to destroy the world / we just want to kill you because fighting is fun"
