Oldschool stuff should be present in old games only. I always pick up new RPG titles hoping that I will relax without having to lose myself in stats, descriptions, quests etc. Those should stay in old RPG games.
It's my opinion though.
Then play Starsiege. Or Dungeon Siege.
Which *I* would *hardly* call role-playing games.
@wibble: I'm not deep/far enough into the game, so I can't really say.
