arrrh ... OK, let's just say this : maybe the fact that combat is resumed to a simple click and kill make the whole action of killing not too important, hence it is used so often. Now if a fight takes up half an hour like it can in a Pen & Pencil RPG, and involves quite a bunch of technicality, I think people would think again before entering into something they dont master. And those that do master the fighting would enjoy it much more, but the time cosumption would encourage them to sometimes avoid the violent solution.
I mean, in most games, if you can click and kill, or talk for ages ... I say 99% of the time, people will just click/kill their way through.

youpla :-P

This may be true. However, I would perfer people avoid combat not because it's laborious, but because it's dangerous and potentially lethal. It would not be a trivial click of the mouse but an involved (but not a half-hour) fight where taking a hit or two could cost their life.

Also, the consequences of murdering someone could potentially be just as devistating as the combat itself (but that's another topic completely )
