I can see the appeal of combat. The first times I'd win a fight and get to the scene it was sorta hot in a way, lie a prize. Problem is when you try to get to, say, the dryads introduced in the last patch, then you'll have to tell the elf troupe to fuck off 10 times, tell the horse dicked elf boy to fuck off another dozen, then tell the bees that you don't want to be sodomized couple more, clear out your inventory from trash your MC randomly picks up AND on top of that exterminate half the continents population of wolves. God forbid you forget to save when you're done. The randomness and sheer volume of it all makes it so at some point you're just clicking through all the walls of text just to get to the part that isn't repetitive.
