Default Re: (OT) Do you prefer to know game formulas?

Hrm. I'm the type of guy who prefers to have the common information concrete and availiable that doesn't give outrageous advantage to the studied, while the mechanics obscured.

Example: I like to know that my mage can cast Orb Lightning 8 times based on the rules of fatigue before he tuckers out.

I don't like to know that a siege is (str)*.45/Defense (x3.2 Mindless) etc.

I would prefer to have accurate generalities and steer clear of pure formulaic or the *Feeling* of needing to know the existing or unknown formulaic (as some feel the need to do).
