And I'll answer you as I did in that thread: I don't want a fantasy
combat simulator, I want a role-playing game, and I tend to take
the term seriously.

Complicated game mechanics are a bad thing because they kill immersion.
I don't want to play a numbers-maximizing game, as my character isn't a
robot (or rather he is, kindof, but shouldn't feel like one).

Whatever game you want to play, Diablo, Wiz 8 or whatever, might be
very good and big fun...

...but role-playing it is not - not if you take the term seriously.
