I think the newer Star Wars Battlefront games did that.

"I got fat because I ate too much."

I could see Norm making a joke similar to this, but Id imagine he'd add onto the end by saying something after a pause, when the audience is visibly confused, like "Because I was getting fat. I was eating too much."

Die-betes was right there... lol

There is one "skip" done by using Misty Step to get into an area that normally requires you to have completed a story quest first.

Yup, we did the same with CS 1.6

I also had the issue with not being able to load subscribed instances. I think someone said it was tied to a forced logout of some sort that happened. I resolved it by removing the accounts from Liftoff, then re-adding them. Afterwards, it worked fine.
