I didn't buy either so I guess I'll never know. Maybe when I go insane and also buy CP2077 as well. Stack up the insanity.

Now, I don't know if this is your case, but it surely looks like it is. A person who is really knowledgeable about the P&P landscape wold know that there is a shitload of systems out there with no emphasis at all on combat or character development. Systems with no dice rolls involved. Systems that make a point of having the less cumbersome ruleset possibile in order to speed up the narrative. Systems more concerned to depict the physical and mental degradation of a character than his growth in power. Systems designed to tell stories for the sake of telling stories (so, again, with no challenge whatsoever involved)

Are you talking about RPG games here, or some guy sitting around reading a book to people?

Man, shocking as it may sound, one of the most effective description of a tabletop RPG is "a game of make-believe with a set of rules intended as guidelines".

Unbelievable, I know...

I'm pretty sure its "a game of make-believe with a set of rules intended to add bickering and fighting"
