Summary of the main point: editing videos or battles out, to me, is an "active" choice that shortchanges the viewer from seeing a game as intended. I usually only edit for backtracking or item collection purposes. Turn based battles ARE gameplay, whether or not they may or may not be monotonous. A viewer should be able to see if a game's combat and vibe are their preferred style. I feel that would get lost if I made the choice to edit videos down...much less the extra work that entails.
