And the only way to do that imho is to have really detailed simulationist mechanics, where the mechanics are simulationist in a sense that they simulate and create details for the games stated and explicit fiction. The result is most probably very long battles that are far away from the D&D tradition - hello old FGU games.Or we can have what 5e gives us - way more rough non-detailed mechanics, made for both reasonably short battles and a moderate amount of tactical options, that gives us (imho) enough meat and potatoes to build our own combat fiction from.Yes, there is no mechanical difference between a fighter that skips and a fighter that walks. But there sure is a roleplaying difference, if you want it to be.Maybe I'm just blessed with players that don't have a problem to keep roleplaying in combat and create fiction out of die rolls and limited mechanics.</blockquote>
