Re: \"Transparent mechanics\"
Um, doesn't "transparent" mean you *can* see the numbers? As opposed to Dom2 with its mysterious "2d6+" rolls?

Maybe, I hope you're right, but I don't see anything mysterious about the 2d6 rolls. |

Re: \"Transparent mechanics\"
When I read "transparent" along with the other mention of "pop-ups", my sense was that there'd be more information available to the user regarding what's going on behind the curtain, not less. Dom 2 got a lot of heat for seeming arcane and unapproachable to non-grognards -- I think the idea is that sharing more information, not less, is a way of making the game more understandable to people who don't want to have to pick through the forums for days to know why certain things are happening in game.
Just a hunch.

Re: \"Transparent mechanics\"
transparent =/= invisible.
