I'll join the no mini-games people here. I want to play a character (or 6) in this game not play me and my medication full, run down, gout addled gamers body.
20 Dexterity should mean 20 Dexterity, not 20 Dexterity minus my reactions minus my pc processor minus my graphics card.
If you want mini-games there are a million out there already.
Animation for me isn't really needed, however I can see the attraction for people who want a more immersive experience.
If the dev's want it we'll get it I suppose.
