SOOO?


Are we playing True RPG (yes the distinction is necesary these days) games so we have everything easy? For the "experience" that should be force fed into us like a shot of heroin that never, ever ends?

(i hate heroin and what it does to people in ways you cannot imagine, btw)

Dont true RPGs require some effort, some sort of mastering the games rules and skills so we can overcome the challenges and obstacles? ISNT that whats actually fun?

And dont go into absurd extremes territory now. It isnt about being completely frustrated - but frustration, some measure of it - is a part of the gameplay of True RPGs.
Otherwise we can all just play on easiest setting by reading walkthroughs. Just to get the... "experience".
- Cue in last ten years of mass market devolution of the genre -

Besides, if you want to have a bit easier time in this sense - well just invest a few points into Perception. What is wrong with that?

You need it anyway, Its useful anyway. This would be just a small additional use for it.
