with a lot of Paradox games that aren't CK or EU I feel like I just don't have the desire or patience to learn the detailed mechanics.

Yeah, although in the case of Rome it wasn't so much that the mechanics were hard to get into, it was that the gameplay was so bland.

Totally Morrowind. Everyone always says its so good...it really isn't.

It took me a couple times but eventually I got it.  Exploring all the ancient ruins and trying to piece together the plot, which I am still not totally sure about, was so much fun it almost made up for the horribly unbalanced combat system and tedious leveling system.  At least you could train levels so it wasn't as suicide inducing as Oblivion.
Its the base gameplay/controls which utterly puts me off. The right button menu and left button to do stuff thing is a pain.

Any game that requires effort.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

What's worth doing that doesn't?

If those passive activities that all involve observing count as "doing" then I'd counter that all require an individual to put in effort to remain attentive.

The Republic was aweful.  That game really pissed me off when the creators wouldn't even patch it.  Fortunately they went out of business.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Yeah but I really liked the idea behind it and kept trying to make it work. Fail. :(

If we're talking Republic: The Revolution - the big issue with that game is that they took a great concept and then executed it poorly. Great example of a game that should have ditched 3D in favor of more development time spent on mechanics.

So what doesn't require effort then?
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?
