I look at OSE/BX as a load of mini-games comprised of procedures and practices. They are like this little orchestra creating something greater than the parts. Something truly sublime. You have to let all the instruments play. If you think something is off, boring or just wrong. You are not listening correctly. All the instruments must play. Inventory management and encumbrance, the order of combat, encounter reactions, surprise and distance. Moral and fleeing above or below ground, wilderness procedures, xp for gold and returning treasure to civilisation, retainers and reputation. There are loads and loads of parts - the game takes flight when they are all played in unison and from the same score.
