The devs driven by eidos are making the game THEY want to make there is no way in HELL, they are making it for the current fans, it's not possible in any sense.
Just like IW they were constantly warned in advance about the problems with what they were doing and what made DX a successful RPG/shooter, they didn't listen.
They are making the game a generic action shooter based of the RPG franchise to make new fans, not to create a better RPG in the image of DX. If they were, they wouldn't get rid of the skill system plain and simple.
IW was a weak reflection of DX, sure there was potential but mainly weakened by the lack of consequences. This was among other horrid designs like the WS special optical inventory storage system (WS-SOISS). It's as if just a shell of the original creative team was working on IW. Oh wait, it was a shell of the original creative team, HS ran off the actual talented people, who fought him tooth and nail against his crappy ideas like Uni ammo, in the original.
Did they ask the community, take a poll, even show the slightest concern of what the FANS, thought or wanted in the skill system, no they did it first then announced it, asshats.

Marcus: ... Bullies. Tiny d*ck egotists who hurt people for no reason, make people lock their doors at night. People who make general existence worse, people like you.
