Inspect Idea (in General)

I've always wondered why you have the ability to inspect a character and basically see what strategy they are using, down to each spell, stat and equipment.

Wouldn't it better if this information was hidden - or you had the option to hide it. Wouldn't it make the game more competitive? My opinion is it would make it more interesting, but it's just a basic idea.

It's like playing an RTS and having the whole map visible - you can see what strategy your opponent is using and counter it appropriately. If indeed CB is a rock-papper-scissors game, hiding character stats might make things more challenging.

I can see the argument that it makes it harder to 'select' opponents - but a simple fight would suffice.

What do you think?

Honestly, I think that's a horrible idea. I really like CB the way it is right now.

You would still be able to find out a lot spells/skills just from the post battle logs.
I don't think it is very necessary and I highly doubt Jon will change it.

Ahh, but you can't see whether they have 6M levels of FB and 10k of DM or is their strat based about 6M levels of DM and a 10k FB ?
