Gareth Davies of Micro Forte, and a professor at the Academy of Interactive Entertainment, has written a comprehensive article about the combat systems in CRPGs. It covers the main four, and their strengths, weaknesses, and myths - and it can be found here. As SaintProverbius, who sent us this info, put it: Oh lordy, it's a novel! - and it certainly is. Professors tend to write a lot, right? :-)
