I don't think I've ever met anyone who thought the Sinnerman quest was 'bland' - and if you thought The Hunt was bland, uh, I'm sorry. I had to go hug my kids.
Maybe I've somehow made it into my 40's without being jaded.
I'm talking about the world on the whole, because unfortunately I got bored and was so disappointed in the offerings that I probably didn't play the missions you mentioned, and dropped it out of my to-play list, as other games have been more engaging.
Well in my opinion you missed out big. I played about... 6-8 months after launch and it's now my 3rd most played game on steam. The world-building is incredible, where you're constantly overhearing things happening around the city that later you actually get to witness. Some of the quests are probably my favourite in any game, ever. Not to mention the combat (especially post 2.0) is way more fun than I was expecting. Using Mantis Blades you feel like a bug from Starship Troopers. I have a screenshot somewhere of three arms and two legs all airborne in my vision as I tore through some unfortunate gangers.
I haven't played the DLC yet, but it's next in my queue.
