I've always taken what I wanted from previous edition as far as lore is concerned. Mostly that means 2e's interpretation for me, but I'm also cool with additions like the Far Realm and Feywild, and the modern interpretation of the Demiplane of Shadow as the Shadowfell.
I certainly care about the why quite a bit, so please speak for yourself and avoid painting everyone with your broad brush here. You don't care about the cosmology or why and how things happen; that's all you can say with certainty.
Ultima VII I think, that or VI. Two of my favorite video games of all time.
Unfortunately, I don't think WotC particularly cares about anyone's investment in the setting, because there are more than enough new folks coming to eat any potential loss of long-time fans. And of course, there are long-term fans who have no issue with the new world order.
So is yours.
No one I play with cares. I try to assume that people are always speaking about their specific use cases unless they use language to indicate a more general applicability; I do sometimes forget that people might not always extend me the same credit.
Yeah, that not hyperbole at all...
If that's the case, why do they provide narrative justifications for all the other classes? Why keep silent on fighter and rogue?
because the narrative justification for fighter and rogue is skill, honed and refined to an extent the other classes haven't, the other classes rely on alternative power sources to achieve their abilities which is why it's specifically called out on them, as they're accessing something that the masses don't usually have, but everyone has the ability to train their capabilities.
So fighters and rogues are not supposed to be supernatural then? Cool.
