  Thats about right.
  More towards but not actually realistic than wow and others which some 
people seem to confuse with something called combat, may as well be 
championship tiddlywinks while ballrom dancing :-).

  I suppose I could recommend hack/rogue/nethack, for some simple retro
but it isn't everyones taste.

Probably a bit too much of a jump from HD 100fps 20 gigabyte games.
Compact, simple , stop any time, really, I can stop, I just don't want 
to. And incredibly frustrating. Instant permadeath. ( without save level 
cheating :-)
The first video gives a good idea.

Realism isn't a big thing in games. It doesn't sell , big dollops of 
pseudo violence but not realism.
  What if a lvl 1 had a 5% chance to take out a lvl 90 and get away 
undetected in pvp?
