I guess I'd like to see a better pricing system for advantages? Maybe?

I dunno. Sometimes when you use the Enhancements and Limitations from the book you get weird results. Especially when you're trying to make your own abilities. If you use one advantage and twist it one way, it might cost 4 points. And if you take another advantage and twist it a different way, to get the same ability, it might cost you 25 points.

Maybe that's just bound to be a flaw in a system where you can design anything. But then maybe there could be more rules, and a greater emphasis on pricing things according to their usefulness.

Just my 2 cents. I...don't feel that comfortable criticizing GURPS. Ever since I picked up GURPS lite three years ago I knew I'd never GM anything else.
