Modern RPGs are horribly overwritten. There’s no sense of pace, no respect for the reader’s time. It’s just endless flowery language, unnecessary paragraphs, and adverbs as far as the eye can see, all made ten times worse if it happens to be voice-acted. I can’t believe people sit through that shit.
I think if that's true, it's part of why games like Nethack and Dungeon Crawl are so popular, no need for massive amounts of dialogue, just dungeoneering straight to the point.
The problem with modern RPGs is not complexity but verbosity. SO MUCH DIALOGUE. Just shit the fuck up already and let me play the god damn game.
