And whereas he used 22 words I simply compacted it into "it's boring"... cause that's what methetically calculated combat is. Nobody plays Microsoft Excel RPG for fun.
And boardgames popular ones are games like Colonists of Catan, exactly dice and randomness, always another game. Always something new. Not just a variation of whack-a-mole each D:OS2 combat turns out to be.
EDIT: Also for the love of god, I don't say "artificial AI will pawn you" I just say if AI understands armor they will likely 100% CC you (due to cheating and numerical benefit) in SP, making even boring battles more boring. Which has nothing to do with how AI can play human or not-human but all about how baddly a 100%/0% system will work for the fun of the gamer. Getting CC-locked very frequently is never fun, it's why most modern action-RPG's even made it impossible for enemies to CC you, so people actually can respond rather than just having to watch and not play.
