Message: <blockquote data-quote="Imban" data-source="post: 4047463" data-attributes="member: 29206">Mike Mearls did explain how - even if it was in very vague terms - 4e could be customizable. If he had just posted saying "Fourth Edition will be super-customizable", well, who would have cared?And until Mike Mearls clarified how things work out, the article promised that 4e wouldn't require a truckload of magic items and then... provided a truckload of magic items as default. In full context the article was true, but unfortunately the article didn't provide that full context for itself. The ENWorld interpretation was pretty clear here.How is this not believing the article? I mean, come on. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":P" title="Stick out tongue    :P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":P" />Again, how is this not believing the article? It's just that the article provides information that a lot of posters don't like.Point is, Mike Mearls seems to have been presenting a lot more interesting things in his tidbits for those of us who love tinkering with game systems - a not insignificant group on RPG discussion boards - as opposed to the previews, which have not provided much of that, and mostly provided what's felt to me like empty words and things which seem more restrictive or "dumbed down" as compared to 3e in the name of speed and ease of play.</blockquote>
