Tall vs broad advancement in RPGs

[MGibster]

I don't tend to run or play in very long campaigns these days, so I generally want characters to hit the ground running and I'm not concerned about increasing power levels. Overall I guess I prefer a broad approach. For a game like Cyberpunk 2020, Call of Cthulhu, or even Savage Worlds, the mook that can kill your novice character can also kill your very experienced character. I kind of like that, but it reflects my preference for somewhat lower powered, more grounded games.

Exalted 3e seems to be both broad with its abilities and tall with essence and charms and directly built for Wuxia
