FATE is a good system for storytelling, but the rules are really dull, there's no satisfaction in any die rolls.
[QUOTE=Rats808;44381774]I don't think anybody was singing Exalted's praises, I just said it might work for what he was going for.
2nd Edition is a massive pile of shit from 20 different freelance writers who all had their own ideas about where they wanted the setting to go and didn't bother to consult a lot of the other books when writing their own bits.[/QUOTE]
Well it's more than that, the rules are really clunky.

insert system to reward players for fluffing their attacks

What you fail to understand is that forcing someone to perfect defend is actually a successful attack; You're forcing them to deplete their motes, which is essentially health in Exalted.
That said, I love love love love love Exalted... And its system is terrible. I play Exalted because I love the world and the lore.

Even if depleting motes is a success, it's not exactly fun
that's like saying "Oh, yea their energy shields completely blocked your yamato cannon without a scatch, but hey at least now their power core is slightly overtaxed!"
although nominally a success it instead feels like you got cheated when the result of a real success would have been them getting pasted/reduced to component molecules/blotted from existence etc

and that is the worst fucking thing
combat between exalts is literally a war of essence attrition, it is stupid and boring and i cant believe the designers thought it was a good idea at all

How is it in any way different than if 'motes' had been named 'health' and all Exalts payed if life force to activate their abilities?
Both health levels and motes are arbitrary game terms.
*edit*
Also, Exalts are supposed to be nigh-unkillable; You aren't really supposed to fight other exalted except when absolutely necessary. Most of your combat is supposed to be against highly powerful but defensively weak (comparatively) creatures, like behemoths and demons and such.
Savage Worlds is x100 better than exalted though.
Plus character creation is really freeing, it's like GURPS if everything wasn't complicated as fuck.

Yeah, the combat system should be like the one in Mutants and Masterminds, that's a great cinematic combat system.

Ah dang...
I've only had one combat in mutants and masterminds and it went like this
1 attempt to turn air into a metal spike and throw it
2 can only make small metal ball, miss throw
3 get punched
4 punch guy back
5 get punched
6 punch guy back
luckily someone helped me
[QUOTE=Dwarfy77;44378313]That's why I didn't say what it was when I recruited, I love homestuck, hate the fans.

Yes, and thus it was effectively your decision.
GM's make their players follow their rules, not following the rules is not playing the game.

I think it goes without saying that, apart from people not wanting to join because of system or schedule differences, anyone whom offers to dm a game will get swarmed.
