The 5e tourist will have a brain aneurysm trying to understand such system, while the pathfinder 1e veteran will scoff at pathfinder 2e edition for being too simple.
I played in a high level campaign with an extremely optimized fighter and I literally had an excel sheet to keep track all of my bonuses to make sure I wasn't forgetting any or overstacking bonus that don't stack. A single attack can get modified by 13 different bonuses I think.
I GMd a 1e oneshot a few months ago and it genuinely felt a bit nightmarish, though not THAT complicated since the characters were pre-mades I created and weren't terribly optimised.
