That's just the way it is, it has become an interactive movie with no room for imagination, but the financial success proves the company right. There's no point in complaining here. This is probably the direction that sells best. Maybe there will be an edit mode at some point, in which user-generated worlds or stories (w/o movie cut scenes) can be created based on the already developed, very good combat engine, and Larian could still make money with fan created worlds that way, would be a win-win. Maybe in a few years, who knows...
