I don't like games where someone at the table is basically bored for 1-2 hours.

It did seem like the guy from Heroes got blocked to a degree with the thief getting stuck in his area. I can see where somebody getting blocked with it and then nobody is rolling 7s. Looking at reviews and videos I think I would get Agricola over Settlers first. Agricola looks to have a nice variety in terms of the level of game play you want out of it.
