I've been playing Pathfinder: Kingmaker computer game and I'm reminded how frustrating some rules elements can be.
I haven't played 3.5 in a long time so forget a lot of the finnicky stuff. I come across a swarm - can't do anything to hurt it. I come across skeletons - all my damage is reduced because my characters are using edged weapons and I sold all the maces and hammers that I found.
It's a mixed bag. On the one hand I can remember there are some benefits to requiring planning. On the hand if I didn't know these rules and this kept happening to me in a tabletop game I would find it very frustrating. It's certainly not new player friendly.
