[QUOTE="kaomera, post: 5520364, member: 38357"] I agree, but I think what a lot of people are talking about is not specifically combat so much as the "tactical elements" of the game. Basically the game part of the RPG. And you should still be able to mix up the roleplay and the tactical elements, but it's hard for me, and it seem like a decent amount of others as well. The issue is in part one of "immersion". Not so much immersion in RP maybe, but I know that when I'm trying to play out a tactical situation (such as combat) "well", ie: good strategy, winning; well, I get very immersed in the tactics. And that can seriously impact my ability to hold onto the fictional viewpoint that makes my roleplaying a lot better (IMO). It's just difficult for me to think of things in my character's terms, through his eyes, while at the same time pushing a little man about a vinyl mat with some squiggly marks on it... Personally it's easier for me without the battlemat, but I think that the opposite is true for some others. [/QUOTE]
