The slow and dull parts of the game, that Mick and a few others describe, are actually vital to a bigger point in the story.

Kind of like how corpse runs and the tedious stuff in EQ being neccesary to the bigger picture of the experience.
Without ruining the story for those who havent beaten the game yet, all the slower paced "boring" things I did throughout the game led to a climactic ending, affecting me in a way no video game has. It created a personal emotional response in me that i was not expecting. At all.
Without the constant dialog missions and tedious horse care taking among other things, i dont think the story would have had such an impact.
UI and Controls are a little clunky tho ill give you that.

I'm sorry but this sounds like youre rationalizing why the game is written poorly and why it's not fun.
I'll tell you what I'm still playing this game and I'm trying really hard to beat it. if I change my mind at the end I will definitely let you know.
but this is so far really bad storytelling really bad characters really bad gameplay really bad controls.
It better be one mind fucking blowing story arch to justify that.
to make up for all this garbage that they've been feeding me so far this would have to make the matrix reveal seem like child's play.
