What are your thoughts on complex battle/customization/gameplay mechanics? Do you enjoy them or are you the type who prefers when a came keeps it simple? What is the most complex game you've ever played?
Just popping in here to say that I love the word 'egregious' and I appreciate you using it, WK. I love the fact that the definition of the word is something that is 'Outstandingly bad; Shocking'. However, the archaic definition is something regarded as 'Remarkably Good'. Bonkers!

On topic: As much as I can appreciate a well-designed, complex system, I don't necessarily enjoy it. As much as I love RPGs in can stop me in my tracks if I can't work out how to properly play it. I much prefer focusing on the story and a steep learning curve can really get in the way of my progression.
