Blame the console market (and the bizarre idea that people will actually compete for 'achievement points' in a single-player game).
I'm currently replaying 'Oblivion' - it's really old, and it has its flaws, but it has a command console! And the flexibility of its game-engine still outclasses anything that Larian has produced to date. For all the glowing reviews I've posted about DKS previously, I'm just starting to realise how much better Bethesda is than Larian - at least Bethesda didn't enforce stupid anti-cheat rules on their single-player PC version. Larian has its strong points (e.g. humour), but they've seemed to completely abandon us PC gamers/modders.
Can't wait for Skyrim, don't care about DKS 2 (or what ever it might be called)...
