As much as I love all aspects of RPG's, combat has always been one of the things I always liked the most... alongside creating characters, leveling up my character, and getting new loot and gear to essentially "level up" my character that way to. Those 4 aspects (and probably a few other things) have always been what I liked the most. So I don't really have all that much problems with games like Wasteland 2, or Fallout Tactics, Mass Effect to I guess, and other games, being more combat heavy. I mean heck... out of all the Fallout games I have played over the years, Fallout Tactics is the one I have come back to the most. I think partly the reason for that is also due to that I do like party based RPG games, which I think comes from all those years of me being a console gamer playing loads and loads of Final Fantasy, Suikoden, and other simmilar types of games... Plus that I also play pen and paper rpg's, where I personally feel that if your fewer then 3 players (4 with the gamemaster) then it does not really work that well to play (unfortunatly my pnp rpg group has been only 3 people total for the past 10 or so years.
luckily that is seeming to change within the next month, where 2 of us are merging with 4 other people to play the latest edition (4th) of a Swedish Fantasy pnp rpg called Eon that I helped crowdfund this summer... it's a game which I have played since late 96 when the first edition came out, it is the most advanced and realistic, not to mention highly deadly in (and out of) combat, pnp rpg game I have ever played).
Anywho... I have not played much games in the past week or so... instead I have done something closelly related to playing games... I have spent a fair bit of time creating multiple test characters for the Eon IV pnp rpg... it's awesome! Just like it's previous editions. In Eon IV you could try creating the exact same character multiple times, but each time the character would be different... usually in several and pretty drastic ways (even more so then the 3 previous versions of the game). It's due to that from the point you start creating your character you have to go through at the very least 7-9 mandatory random result rolls on a D100, on up to 5 different tables that all include 100 different results, and on top of that you might get to roll on several other random roll tables on either a D10 or a D100 (although these do usually not include 100 results, maybe half or more roughly). And thanks to that a story emerges as you create your character. Again, it's awesome.
