Does it have to be fun

I can Thank Matt for this one.  I had been struggling so long with how to make combat fun, when he just asked "Does it have to be fun?  We love Questron, but that combat is decidedly not fun..."

It's a weird thought, adding something 'not' fun into a game.  I know it makes the whole game more fun in the end, and I'll be circling back to add something fun in it's place, but sometimes it's OK to put in a place holder that isn't fun, just so you can see how everything else feels.  Just adding a really bad combat system has made the game more fun, even though the combat itself is very, very, VERY tacked on at the moment.
