OK, so I'm interested and cautiously optimistic.
Since I got sick of 3.0 and was disappointed with 4e I've been trying and liking other games. I don't know if D&D can deliver what I want any more because one of the things I don't like about it are the pointlessly escalating HP, skill and attack/defence bonuses which are core to every edition so far.
If they can somehow give me a modular D&D that allows me to run heroic fantasy without pointless maths I will come back now and be happy. But I can see it is most likely I'm going to be unsatisfied by the core of 5e, even as I love the idea of what they are trying to do and appreciate some of the new inclusions I expect such as proper social mechanics.
Still, I'm keeping my hopes up.
More ranting on unnecessary maths: Removing the last unnecessary escalation?
