I.e. the characters' stats and capabilities don't undergo drastic changes from level to level. But I've seen way more character development happening in GURPS than I've ever seen in D&D so far. In D&D, you character essentially doubles in power every 6-8 sessions, because over that time said the character will gains two levels, with all the associated gains in BAB, spells, additional equipment from loot, etc. This is not a calculation that would even occur to a GURPS player! Said player might say "Yeah, my character probably could take on twice as many opponents after the first 6-8 sessions into a campaign. But that's because the party as a whole is starting to gel after that time, finding out each other's strengths and weaknesses, learning how to work together as a well-oiled team, gaining in trust and cooperation."Which attitude do you think would tend to encourage more roleplaying, hmm?</blockquote>
