I'm 130hrs in but I'm still pre-Moonrise Towers, currently wandering around a poisonous bog of some sort, so no spoilers please

I'm finding the game repetitive and I think it's my own fault? Am I taking the game way too slowly by following every narrative thread and opening every crate etc?

Should I skip some narrative beats?

Should I change my team's subclasses to mix up combat?

Any advice appreciated

Don't skip narrative. But try to recognise what parts of the gameplay are slowing you down and consider stopping them.

I think simply not picking up every little thing usually speeds up the game (and similar games) tremendously. My personal rule of thumb is that it's only worth it to pick something up when it's weight to worth ratio is 0.1 to 1. So a thing that weighs 1 has to be at least 10 gold worth. And by the third act even that was too much.

And for inventory management you should either get yourself some mods that give you automated sorting bags or just don't do it and rely on the search function.
