[QUOTE="dm4hire, post: 6160246, member: 14848"] I'm beginning to think that the real issue of this debate is we are diverse in our appreciation of not just Star Wars, but what constitutes a RPG for it. FFG and C7 have chosen to take an approach to the venue that unfortunately doesn't appeal to some of us, mainly I think because not only do we have the movies to compare material to but actual game systems as well. If FFG were releasing this with no previous system out there I think we would not be discussing this, at least to this extent, as to what should and shouldn't be included. As for C7, they have finally hit the nail on the head in most people’s eyes as far as defining a system that works with ME and all of Tolkien. More often than not most people weren't satisfied with the past incarnations of systems used to portray the world Tolkien created which is why those games never saw wide spread success in my opinion. C7's success is also having available some remarkably talented artists who have captured the look and feel of ME that, while in the past was good, has never been so evocative. It simply beats the last incarnation that relied heavily on movie stills. The anguish around The One Ring is people want to play characters of races they can't, but should be able to play. [/QUOTE]
