So a bit of info on my gaming history. I started with 2nd ed D&D, but stopped in college when it became evident being a rpger was gonna get me bullied by my peers and I had no one to play with. Cut to years later where I got heavily involved in 4e with LFR and a 3 year campaign that died to scheduling. I dropped out for a while when I burned out (I don't regret my time, but it was a relationship that ran its course ).
Cut to now, I love 5e, but for the most part everyone in my area loves Pathfinder. They buy all the books to make the most over powered character they can. Discussion turns to "builds" as opposed backstory. When I play I find my characters are ineffectual because I did not take the correct combination of abilities.
It is a shame, I like a tone of the people that play, but the system is so overly complex that I have decided to quit gaming again. Anyone ever feel like this?
