[QUOTE="Ovinomancer, post: 8426866, member: 16814"] You have a badly flawed view of how people do things, especially physical thing. People who have experience with a thing can very quickly sum up how likely they are to succeed at that thing. Do they put it in percentages or skill bonus numbers? No, but a pro-athlete can nearly instantaneously gauge the likelihood of success of a given option -- this is the large part of what makes them pro-athletes! Heck, an amateur climber has told you explicitly how they gauge their ability to climb something, in detail, and why they think those things (based on experience and study) and you dismiss it by saying people don't do these things, we only ever have a vague idea of what might happen. It's pretty rough, and seems entirely set not on understanding how people actually do things so that you can model it in a game, but rather how you want to play a game so you imagine that people must do it this way in real life.
