IMO the reason for that is because it does a pretty good job combining new and old elements of D&D, and it relates the story of Torog in an imaginative, engaging way. I liked MP2. What I think is most notable about it is that it really played with the idea of alternative builds. We have new class features (the battlefront warlord is most notable to me), new secondary stats (Dex for fighters, Wis for warlords, Int for rogues) and tried to patch the ranger a bit by giving Dex-based melee attacks and Str-based ranged attacks. PH3 also shook up power design. The most obvious are the power point using classes, but even the monk has some interesting things going on mechanically. However, I wasn't hugely impressed with the fluff, and the seeker and runepriest are so niche that IMO they should have been alternate builds of other classes.The other books I never picked up, but I never thought the dragonborn book would be all that great and I didn't hear many interesting things about Hammerfast.</blockquote>
