Sorry about the at the very least, rather vague title, I couldn't imagine any other way to make it shorter without making it make any less sense. So anyways I've often seen claims, NUMEROUS claims, that it's a generally a bad idea, to make first person oriented games, heavily dependent on character stats, and diceroll factors. Often times from the crowd that didn't like Morrowind's very RNG/random/diceroll based mechanics, who didn't like player skill being nearly worthless compared to character skill. Who I... Don't really agree with, but this thread is in the Community Discussion subforum because this isn't inherently about Morrowind, and isn't even inherently about TES games at all.

I have noticed though, that it does seem rare for games other than all out shooters to be in the first person, and extremely rare for ultra stat based/RNG based RPGs to be like that. Least it seems that way. Rather this is due to just a traditional trend, such games being hard to balance, a lot of gamers disliking that or something else I don't know.

So with that out of the way, here's the questions I present you with. Do you like combining first person gameplay with a heavily stat oriented game, with heavily randomized mechanics? Does it not matter either way? Do you dislike it? If you like it why is that? I like, having OPTIONAL first person for... Well immersion issues though I prefer it being entirely optional, and I just happen to like it when such games have that as well.

If you dislike it, why do dislike it when those features are combined in a game? Lastly other than TES games, are there any first person games you can think of, that you like, where they are very heavily character stat centric, and heavily RNG based?
