True. (Although I tend to be the opposite and need my brother to keep me from my 'That's good enough' attitude) :)

I meant combat though. I struggle with 'making combat fun' too. It is a big challenge I think in creating RPGs.

When ever I think about how to get fun into something, I think about the video I'm linking here.

For me, key rule is the player has to feel in control.  That's how you get them to respect the system and be willing to over invest in it. (see video)   They need to feel like they're making the decisions on what's happening, and that their decision is informed enough that their choice has results.  Even one decision Run or Fight?  will add fun if the rest of the game is compelling enough to warrant making the decision.    If they don't want to explore the dungeon, they won't care if they run or not.  If they do, they'll think very carefully about the best way to approach that decision.  Which as I'm rambling here, the most fun part of combat is not combat?
