I’ve always suspected they blew a good chunk of their budget on cinematics, voice acting, motion capture and flashy graphics. That left much less to build the core system so they figured they could just modify DOS.

The DOS engine may be so rigid, it can’t handle all the 5e changes. Hence all the Larian home brew.
