Hmm, I see. Like any extreme, it can outweigh and be the major pain point (or high point, whatever). Action games with too much cinematic and tutorial can also destroy the fun of an otherwise good game. And if the cinematic and constant chatting and characters are annoying, yeah, that's a pass for me as well.
I've purchased the game for something like 2,99 or so in Steam and thought will play it someday. I'll probably install and test it just because I have it, but after reading comments like yours, I do not think to finish it. Not all games you start needs to be finished.
BTW are those mods integrated into Steam? If so, I'll have it in mind.
I think that's the right approach. Once it starts getting old it won't get better. That being said, the writing of the DLCs does not have the problem of the main story and are often pretty good. If getting access to all your character's abilities wasn't attached to playing the main story I would advise skipping the main game and only playing the DLCs.
