I love Battlemaster because its an opportunity to roleplay different types of characters. As a writer I really value being able to put myself in to a protagonist, so to speak, and it's even better when I don't also have to create the situations and environment and other characters so I can just focus on getting a feel for what this one individual would do or want.
And yeah, it's not a lightweight game for me the way I play now and other times, but sometimes it is because I just don't have the time, and both ways work. That's a really cool aspect of the game.
