Hi all,
I played several games in 4e but it was all very easy for me because I just kicked characters out of the CB and played.
I'm curious: Could you make a party of all Essentials character and then play through the Keep on the Shadowfell and/or Thunderspire Labyrinth?
Would these characters perform about as well, better, or worse than a comparable group of PHB 1/2/3 characters in the same situation?
Would the "lack of options" hamstring the Essentials group compared to a nerdily optimized group of "original" characters?
Please keep the answers civil here, I'm not interested in a big fight over Essentials and Wizards' business decisions - if these questions have been asked and answered elsewhere, please let me know where I can see the answers.
