I personally enjoy BF very much. Whenever I get bored with the main plot of the game I go in the BF and get some fresh air. I also use them when a merchant is far away from me and I am in need of some portions or when I have to sell items. It is very convenient. The quests may be simple but they give you the opportunity to gain some xp points in case you have missed some not crucial from the main plot. Plus I like very much the item hunt. I have found some great items in there. I am glad there are there. But this is of course my personal opinion.
