I can't play cataclysm anymore either. Too convoluted. You know you actually have to take vitamins regularly now? They made it so you suffer vitamin deficiencies if you don't get all the vitamins and minerals. For example, scurvy. You can get scurvy if you don't get enough vitamin C or go blind if you don't get enough of some other vitamin. YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO BALANCE YOUR FUCKING DIET, OR YOU DIE. That isn't fun. It's tedious. Oh and the new character creation, where you get 6 points to spend, but cant spend more than 2 in any category or something like that and the perks/debuffs are severely limited so that you can't get many more points out of them. It's highly restrictive, but at least it's optional.
Sounds like they're trying to make the game as tedious as possible, whats next for them poop mechanics? Where you have to manage when and how you excrete?

Recently bought Fire Emblem: Awakening,so I've been playing that. It's the one and only game I own on a 3ds I've had for about 2 years.
I like it, you can ship characters together and then recruit their children who time travel from the future.
I'll probably get fates when it comes out in Europe (why is there even such a massive staggering in release dates?).
