Quest 'Beyond his gaze' spoiler discussion/critique ..

I know, critique on a fan reddit but hear me out. I like this game a lot and im not done playing it as im at the point where i'm trying to find out why the princess is frozen and presumably am going even further back into the past.

WHICH is to say i havent done all the quests. But on to point of topic .. I really and I mean really wish more of the story quests were on the caliber of beyond his gaze. We had maybe two quests I cared about which were in the age of magic and I guess the cooking one was ... OKAY.

But why aren't more quests like beyond the gaze? Where we get exciting and nuanced story telling. Where we get an allusion as to the main villain (Thus far before i killed him) Kaifried's motivations and that he was a good guy once AND that he gave his kid a caretaker just to prevent his own enemies from killing him. I like the gameplay loop quite a bit but I think ive done about 50% of the quests and I am hoping there's a few in the rest that are on that level.
