For example, say dragons can cast "dragon flight" which give make them take significantly reduced physical damage for 3 turns, which should signal to the player that they should use magic/ranged attacks during this time.
Or let's say an enemy can cast "enrage" which significantly increases his attack but lowers his defense for 3 turns, which should signal to the player that he should prioritize that enemy during this time.
How do you let players know what these abilities and states do? Their effects, duration, etc.? Do you come up with excuses for NPCs to explain every mechanic to the player? Do you let them figure it out on their own if it's fairly intuitive (i.e. "enrage)? What do you do as a designer, and what do you appreciate as a player?

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
