It comes down to role-playing. My group made up 3rd edition characters looking at the stat descriptions and had characters with stats of 10-13. None of them have incredibly high stats and struggle with getting higher levels of skills. They play realistic characters who depend on each other for success. Combat is dangerous. They worry about goblins and laugh about facing dragons head-on. One of their greatest assets is the strong barbarian. Use the system AND role-playing and you have the perfect mix. Your problem is not the GURPS system, it's bad role-playing and power-players. That is all.

Replying to a 28 year old post isn't a record, but it is sort of
impressive.

Oh, dear. As the fact of that reply caused the thread to become visible
again, I just assumed it was a current thread, and started to reply
to posts in it.
