Oh, I don't think it's anything like that. I think that there are just games that are aimed more to, for lack of a better description, the "hardcore" market. Much like not everyone who reads might pick up something heavy and would rather settle for oh, I dunno... Mills & Boon
Have you tried Bejewelled?
Dragon Age is much more simplistic than Baldur's Gate, Planescape and the like were and is significantly more "automated."
Methinks that you've slipped into the frenetic mindset of the hack-and-slash shooty-bang-bang genre and hell, that's fine too. You'll never be welcome in my home, you filthy deranged maniac, but I can appreciate your rights
