It is truly infuriating you can not step up the party Wizard when there's an Arcana check to be made, and whatever 8 Int Barbarian will roll instead.
Perhaps they painted themselves into a corner with such a heavy focus on cinematics and voiced dialogue. Getting Gale to walk over from the back row, speak appropriately and examine something Arcane could be too much work, considering you would have to do it for all characters in all situations.
Then again this is just something they have to solve. It's a party based game and it's absolutely inexcusable to not allow different party members to use their specialized skills for the group. That's the very core of the game, in and out of combat. If it calls for a reduction in cinematic quality, so be it.
