I ran a very good Starwars game using HQ2.0 and people really loved it. It's quite easy for them to visualize what someone with a keyword can do or not. In this case I confused them by giving them abilities and too much rules related details in the 1st place and all went better when I just told them to pick an archetype and go with it.
I think it all depend on how knowledgeable the people are of the settings or the genre and unfortunately for us Glorantha is not even closely as famous as any hollywood blockbuster.
