[QUOTE="nathreet, post: 4421375, member: 73449"] Wow this has really gone off topic. I don't suppose we could get people to simply list what they like about 3E and save the rest for other threads? I think both 3E and 4E have their place, and it's nice that we have both. 4E is a different game from 1-3E, and that's been both a complaint and a praise of the new edition. - I like the rules depth of 3E. Yeah, I like it. I like how you could put together a fantastically in depth setting and have rules for how the players can interact with them. Well, if anybody knew those rules. Sigh. - I like how as a new player you can just jump into 3E and play. You may not do well at first, but it's easy enough to catch on to "okay, I move, I attack. You want me to move there instead to flank? Oh, ok. Roll what check and add what? Okay, I got a 14." - I like the high level of strategy in 3E. The group organization and dealing with targets and planning and (the frequent) escaping while making sure we get everyone away. Don't diss [I]floating disc[/I] man, we used to nickname that spell "Tenser's Stretcher". Or as a caster I liked making a sorceror with a limited selection and yet using almost every single different spell I had multiple times in the craziest and different ways. Ready action horizontal wall of stone in case the fire giant blacksmith throws him into the lava! I like a lot more, but I don't want to put to much time in this and the thread hasn't really got much of a list going anyway. [/QUOTE]
