Someone thought it would be too "spreadsheety" and too "RPGey" I guess. Skyrim was aimed toward the younger console crowd. Epic, uber-leet heroes don't have time to look at tabs, you know.
Nah, sounds just like rant to me. If the "younger console uber-leet generation" who play COD all day like something, it's titles and accolades. Skyrim got achievements for this reason, as many other games, a separate tab for this in-game would be great for this target audience. And although I'm not so young and I play Skyrim on PC, I would love that too, and I am an achievement-[censored].
