Also for crying out loud STOP arguing in favor of Lamer presentation.
Seirously whats with this.

Its some kind of weird purity spiral going on where people want to argue for tamer execution and worse graphics to prove they got some sort of "Gameplay only" cred, or "realism" or some other nonsense.
Stop it.

Turn based games live off their presentation, combat and dialogue choices is the main gameplay loop in RPGs, if that feels boring, then you might aswell read a book


Duide, what are you on about? Its an issue about preference, nothing else. What you call "worse" graphics I call better. There isnt some underlying psychological mystery here.
