Well because of EA Access I am playing the 10 hour trial, which I am about 2 hours in and quite enjoying it. I have stopped playing because I don't want to play more if I plan on getting it. Though one thing I have always worried about is exactly what you have highlighted. I don't mind some fetch quests, but when it's done in a very repetitive manner in areas that are barren/lifeless (which is kinda how I read your sum up), this is enough to put me off.
