Then you played differently than us, that's for sure. I wouldn't see any meaning in even owning the rule books if we were just going to bend and stretch the entire concept. If you had fun; good for you! But that's not how I like to play RPG's at all and would feel meaningless.

pokoko; that's nice but is she moving around with it? Is she hitting any targets and carrying several thousand bullets in addition to a bunch of other gear? Is that minigun anywhere near the size of the one in F4?
I can lift a 50 pound sword easily enough, that doesn't mean I would be able to fight with it properly.

I think we just need to conclude that we see things differently, pure and simple. I enjoy systems and mechanics that offer challenge and replayability for me and logical restrictions that keep me from getting overpowered and too multi-talented, clearly you don't, and that's fine.

Edit; saw your post above. I also enjoy different things, but these things in Fallout 4, Skyrim, Diablo 3 and Mass Effect 2 and 3 really bother me and they make the experience lesser than it could be.

True, the scenarios were more important to us than the rule books. The character sheets were still useful to determine who was best suited to do what and how to play the role. However nobody cared about levelling up, it was considered more as a chore lol.

Arguing that she can't carry all the gear reminds me of this

That's only a few guns, in TW3 and F4 you carry a decent size U-Haul on your back.

I guess I'm in the camp of pushing against the rules. I have no problem with using glitches to my advantage or simply to ignore certain less fun mechanics. Hence when TW3 forces me to do things a certain way it lessens my enjoyment. Although I still had fun killing infinite respawning enemies with Ciri while trying to find gaps in the invisible fences. I did get through the invisible fence yet was still on the big rock with only death below unfortunately.
Picking up stuff that you can't use is always annoying. Do you carry it around for maybe when you get to use it and have it just sit there taking space. Or sell it and regret it later. It's also why I didn't like the crafting in TW3. I make something I worked hard for, can't use it yet. By the time I can use it, I've found something better. Bleh.
