You often hear people saying "Oh... I'm playing a charismatic character but I'm bad at words, can't I just roll persuade?" or "Why do I have to try and solve this puzzle? My character has 18 intelligence!"...
But you never EVER see "I'm playing a fighter but I am not in fact trained in hand-to-hand combat. Why do I have to optimise character builds and make decisions in combat? Can't I just roll a skill?"
Almost as though you're hiding behind mechanics to get out of doing stuff you don't enjoy
