What stats do you wish were tracked in various games you have played?

Recommended Posts

I'd like the stats for damage and whatnot be accurately measured. Like in this image and this image from the first Mass Effect, for instance (I'm not picking on Mass Effect; nearly all video games are incompetent at displaying helpful item info.) What do any of those stats mean, and how do the stats on the first image (damage protection, shields, and tech/biotics protection) negate the effects of the second (damage and armour piercing rounds)? Does it mean "336 minus 68 equals 268 damage to Shepard's health," which can probably only go as high as 999? That can't be right because Shepard would be dead in 5 shots, and that doesn't happen on Normal difficulty. Games where there's no numerical values don't help either.

I'd ask if it's too much to ask for a comprehensible stat system, but I know it does because Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic exists.
