Nah, I pretty much disagree. In the beginning the quests were just bad and all you did in for example Jenny's or Erik's story was to earn money via the same minigame to either hand it to them or buy stuff which you then handed to them. It was a simple and pretty "boring" design - but sure, you got the scenes faster.
And yes, I like light dialogs at times and given that the game got even more popular since he started to have these, I'm certainly not alone. It's sad, that it's not for you, but that's just the way DC decided the game should be.
