First of all, I love this game. But, in much the same way I love Doctor Who, it is so frustrating sometimes. ScreenJunkies summed it up perfectly - boy you make it difficult to love you sometimes LoL
What I think they should have done though is take out at least a third of the side quests, then release them gradually over the next couple years, after more work has been done to them, like clearing up bugs and adding more.
