One thing that kicks this whole opinion off for me is that it's right after your first 'battle' (igonring the crabs). Then it's literally hours of exploring/tasks/investigations without another taste of combat or really any XP to speak of. I just end up a big thief stealing left right and center and checking all the containers I can (I guess I am OCD in that way) and eventually I feel let down because the Orc fight was engaging (but brief) and then there's no combat to be had without being basically evil or wandering off for a rather long time.
I think the *time* part is the key here. If I had been playing this game for a long time and had levelled up and geared up some and was the verteran of some nifty battles I might not feel as sedated by a stretch of civil life. Additionally - if this was farther intot the game I'd likely have other outstanding quests that might be more combat oriented etc. As it stands I have a quest log full of detective work and counseling.
It just feels to soon in to the game to lay completely off all action.
