I often get exhausted by the overwhelmingness (is that a word?) of the story. It's all too much, too epic. I mean WE have mindflayers, red dragons, spider matriarchs, hags, beholder, drow, gighyanki etc. in just a few hours gameplay. And when you encounter normal enemies like goblins, they come in hords, because the gods forbid If it's not epic. I miss normal beginner quests and some excitment curve.
To be honest, nowadays I often burn out midgame and stop playing.
