It comes down to role-playing. My group made up 3rd edition
characters looking at the stat descriptions and had characters
with stats of 10-13. None of them have incredibly high stats and
struggle with getting higher levels of skills. They play
realistic characters who depend on each other for success.
Combat is dangerous. They worry about goblins and laugh about
facing dragons head-on. One of their greatest assets is the
strong barbarian. Use the system AND role-playing and you have
the perfect mix. Your problem is not the GURPS system, it's bad
role-playing and power-players. That is all.

Replying to a 28 year old post isn't a record, but it is sort of
impressive.

Oh, dear. As the fact of that reply caused the thread to become
visible again, I just assumed it was a current thread, and
started to reply to posts in it.
