[QUOTE="Roman, post: 4686083, member: 1845"] I was cautiously optimistic when 4E was first announced. 3.5E was good, but I am a person who likes a bit of change now and then, so I thought 4E might provide that. I was a bit worried that the direction of that change might not be in the direction I like, but I thought the change would not be huge anyway, so I would be willing to accept it for the sake of novelty. Well, there was change alright and it was indeed not in the direction I wanted to see. Unfortunately, it went so far in the direction that doesn't fit my style, that I could not overlook it and with each new preview I liked the game less and less. I kept on reading the previews, hoping in the back of my mind that other areas of the game, as yet unpreviewed, would reverse course, but I more or less new it was a vain hope. By the time 4E came out, it was crystal clear to me that I didn't like it. The design philosophy was more or less the opposite of what I wanted. Needless to say, given its diametrically opposed design philosophy, I still don't like it. Still, I didn't vote, because I am not sure whether this means I was positive about it at the beginning (when it was announced) or negative about it at the beginning (when it came out). [/QUOTE]
