Alright silly imitations of you guys aside, I agree with Sawyer that fans like you are too conservative and only value rpg's with classic mechanics. My point stands that you don't need to show player stats, the number of damage a weapon does, you also don't need perks or skill checks.
Unless you...
I'm just agreeing with you, you want more games like fallout 1/2 where you kill things, that's what an rpg is. You can ignore dog meat and kill on your own, kill the dog itself, feed the dog and he'll help you kill things, so much choice. If you're not killing directly, someone will kill for...

And stop with the "RPG's shouldn't require player skills" because they already do, if you play a healer you still...
Animations, sounds, decals, sprites and so on. Again it's tedious explaining something so many times only for someone to overlook the comment and ask me again to explain it. Also it's a game, sometimes you can't visualize a concept until you have played the game.
There is no such a thing as a...
It's a fan thing period, when people get attached to a game or a company they overlook problems because they tend to project themselves into it. Criticising the game or the company to such people is like criticising themselves, that's why criticism is taken very personally, that's why companies...
