I can't tell if you are being sarcastic or not.

THACO and AC were not intuitive. Intuitive means that you understrand without having to read up on it. Having your attack bonus be best when lower, and armor class preferably be in minus are just not what you expect. Last time I recommended BG2 to a friend he spend good couple hours running without armor, cause he thought putting it on makes him easier to hit.
