I don't think is a forcing something, or at least it is not in my case. The problem is more in the coding and quest structure. In this case it is linear, meaning that you need to complete quest 1 to be able to do quest 2. This is the reason, in this case, that no content is avoidable. So what i do when playing games and a scene is nothing for me, i just skip trough it and don't watch it.
