Don't even need to be a specific rule player to know that. The actual PnP games are limitless. You literally can do anything you can imagine. You can easily make a new rule to handle stuff the books don't cover. Video games can't. Not with the same fluidity, anyway. I would expect the simple mathematics to be handled, along with spells and abilities that work in a CRPG. It's amazing they even have Speak to Animals. I mean, it's a simple concept, but you have to then also write dialogue for every animal you place in the game. Otherwise, the spell becomes worthless. That's a lot of work I don't usually expect from video games, despite it being something I love to see.
