[QUOTE="Xamnam, post: 8858542, member: 7037765"] This isn't pithy, this is a heavily unbalanced framing. One side you've drilled down to the essential core framework, and the other you're putting high-level assumptions on. 5e asks you to only parse a dense ruleset as much as you run into problems outside of the bog standard loop of ask the players what they do, and tell them what happens. There's absolutely no requirement about worlds full of lore, and it's not like Blades in the Dark doesn't come with a very detailed setting attached with more of an assumption you use it than 5e and the Forgotten Realms. Skill as a DM is as present an issue in any game, because that's based on players, not the rule set. Likewise, presentation and purchases is all about your own standards, not the expectations of a rule set. Sure, 5e is wordy, and sometimes hard to find the right intersection of rules, I've no bones about that. But otherwise? I don't think this comparison holds as fair. [/QUOTE]
