Was this actually that common a complaint? Seems like an odd one for a D&D-based game. AFAIC D&D was always about a team of adventurers rather than one lone wolf; "Seven Samurai" instead of "Batman." The team composition itself could become a "character" in its own right.

In any case, I'm not happy about it either. I think I've done more save-scumming in the past day or two than I have since trying to level Pickpocket in Skyrim.
