Oh don't get me wrong, I play D&D and love it as well haha

I was just curious about other systems and how their approaches to rules, balance, and storytelling affect how players play as well (and DMs DM), seeing as there's a myriad of different systems each with different goals and mechanics. I haven't played any other system on the tabletop, as my group hasn't really tried playing other systems yet (only crpgs based on other systems, plus me reading manuals and rulesets because why not)

I can see how a rules lite system would prevent random pushing of the system until it breaks type of gameplay, ala PbtA games. Plus with more emphasis on crafting a narrative vs focusing on the best combination of stats/skills/interactions, there's less incentive to turn the mechanical knobs until something ends up broken.
