    Immersion is not the result of pretty graphics or hud elements. You experience it when you are having fun, during combat or crafting or when ever you are enjoying yourself. It's when you forget about the outside world and focus solely what's going on w/ the game. This is true regardless if it's a game w/ a deck of cards or a board or a sophisticated computer game with impressive graphics and audio. So HUD elements don't impact your immersion.

    Maybe that's for you, but I agree that for some people a cluttered UI may break it.
