That's what I really loved about 4E. They weren't trying to create a table top simulator. If your focus is on telling a story, the fictional tropes are a lot more effective in doing this, at least in my experience. The key is keeping it modular enough so you can modifier what you need to tell...
Well..........
1: There are a ton of people who have no issue role playing in 4E, so yeah.........

Well I'm glad you were having fun with that.[emoji12]
I've gotten to the point where I just don't have any tolerance or patience for people who keep talking themselves and circles and don't add anything of value to the conversation just so they can reinforce their own ideas.
