It's not whether or not they can do it (because they can), but whether or not they are able to implement things on time. Spending too much time on the one cutscene might not give them leeway to touch on other aspects of the game. Do remember that the development team isn't very big.

    You can't have it both ways, if they can, they do not provide at important moments, the ones people can and do remember. Even just by going off of the MSQ you cannot possibly say that cutscenes accurately depict a person that has taken down beastmen gods, dragon hordes and military leaders, especially after 3.0s achievements.

    Our cutscene incompetence is one of the things this game is known to have, developer limitations only go so far and do not excuse all of it, considering these are problems with the story and the portrayl of one of its major characters. If they can't make us more than a passive observer by cutscene, they should try involving the gameplay, so that we can experience what goes down through our actions.
