Yeah but that was quite rare and if they cant fix something for their sequel then damn.
Like I've said above, it was part of world building. A world were nothing happens is a world that no one cares to visit. Just a stupid thing, but lets imagine that you're playing Skyrim, you're wandering in the route and you see a group of thalmors taking a prisioner. Essentialy they are not fun, because what, its just a bunch of npcs walking around, and taking them out of the game for whatever reason doesnt change almost anything, but the thing is, you're taking away a piece of world building that made it look more dynamic. Feasts are the same thing, they're not core to the experience but they are part of the experience essentially, so arguing that they dont matter or that they were not fun is just... well wrong.
