...I've got a solution with exciting and groundbreaking minimalist aesthetics: WIREFRAMES!

Take a look at these and tell me what you think:

This will completely revolutionise the design of RPGs by stripping them down to their essentials and exposing them for what they really are. It will be a sea change; no RPG will ever be the same again.

You hacked Obzidian.webz and burgled design docs? Filthy thief.

They've not design docs; they've proposals for a new interface (though they've not mine). For example, who really needs portraits or icons in an RPG. Wouldn't text saying "Party Member 1 Portrait" be more elegant and simple? That would also strip away the graphics whores, leaving only the true RPG connoisseurs behind.

Apple's products are always amazingly great. This is like wagyu beef and fine wine together.

The first image looks like the inventory management page from a Choose Your Own Adventure book. For Sommerlund and the Kai?

I like this idea but I think it could be taken even further. All game assets could be easily replaced with floating text.

(Sneak Attack) has too much character, it has to be purged. Animal companion should be changed to Organic Allied Entity.

You can save a lot of animation if you cut off the legs as well from all the in-game models.

Chanting has to be changed to "a steady pulse of sound frequencies". Stronghold to "organized building materials" or simply to "building".
