Hi there. I just wanted to ask if anyone here has seen a game that is not an excel spreadsheet with a graphical interface. What I'm looking for is a game in which combat, for example, depends more on skill and practice (I guess it'd have an action-oriented combat system) than on comparing stats and thinking about which stat benefits you the most, attack damage or armor penetration :P Feel free to ask me follow-up questions because even I don't have an idea of what I'm actually looking for..

There are many games like this; the one I have the most experience with is Vendetta Online. One's success in combat is determined by practice, which results in things like a faster OODA loop, better situational awareness, developing an individual fighting "style", etc.

There isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to play, if you want to use a screwdriver to put nails into wood, have at it, simply don't complain when the guy next to you with the hammer is doing it much better and easier. - Allein
