You tried to pre-empt the obvious answer because you know your own reasoning wouldn't convince anyone. This convoluted clunkiness would not be appealing to a modern gamer just picking this up.

>as I did not understand how Negative Plane Protection worked
As I said initially, there are so many things like this. It's not the only reason I wouldn't recommend the game to a new person. It seems to be the most controversial one.

I am that anon. There are plenty of other issues too. I mentioned a few. The general speed of the game, the huge dead areas of nothing interesting happening. But I think you guys are taking for granted how invested/engaged/nostalgic you have to be in a game in order to "put up with" a bunch of shit. They're not bad games, I just don't think they're worth playing for the uninvested so many years later. I think they'll drop it in a few hours. People are not gonna sit down and read the manual/google for 18 hours to reverse engineer 30 year old tabletop mechanics before just playing through an rpg. They're gonna buy another one on steam instead.
