I completely agree. Ostagar was pretty amazing in terms of atmosphere and story exposition, so I can't for the life of me figure out why someone would want to skip it - unless a player isn't interested in story at all and just wants the gameplay experience; the Ostagar portion of the game is low-level, so purely gameplay focused players might not like that, despite the important story bits. The Fade, on the other hand… it was interesting the first time, but on subsequent playthroughs, it felt pretty sluggish and tedious.
