The whole point of archetypes was to avoid adding classes.

There's no such thing as a "feat tax". People just want to play a high level character at level 1. That's why they want to have uber long backstories as well. "Balanced" and "powerful" are antonyms.

While the setting has expanded greatly, the gameplay feels much more constrained than before.

I like Epic Level Gameplay. It feels like a waste to just have a campaign or characters retire just because they hit Level 20. I hate playing in pre-established settings. I think part of that comes from the feeling that they're all just Medieval Europe which feels generic. I like the...

Spider-Man is miles stronger than a level 20 fighter in terms of raw strength. It’s just that he plays like a rogue that he comes off as “weak but skilled”. That’s why I couldn’t never buy the idea that level 20 characters were superheroes or invincible.

Alignment, 90% of the time, is supposed to be descriptive rather than prescriptive. A person is LG because they make LG actions. I feel like people forget this a lot of the time and focus on the 10%.

Oh please. They’re not nearly as strong as people say they are.

I like to do a percentage roll to determine the alignment of non-important NPCs. “Often” means “33% chance of being that alignment with a 33% chance of being within one step of it and 33% chance of being within two steps of it”. “Usually” and “Always” follow similar rules. For NPCs integral to...

That feels somewhat restrictive in my opinion. A good person can look and act like anything so long as they’re not doing anything bad. There wouldn’t be a point in codifying what a good creature tends to act like. That’s why even stereotypically good creatures such as Dwarves and Elves only...

That feels like a bad idea since you might as well be reading something else.

How do you know you weren’t on the tracks to begin with?;)

That would be nice, but then society would harass you for doing nothing.

It's funny that you mention the Trolley Problem, since a manga that I like, QED, did its own analysis on it. Moral of the story, it depends on the campaign.
