It's also about how you view the game in general.I had only been playing 1st AD&D for about 6 month to a year before 2nd edition game out. I took a look at it and loved what I saw. It vastly improved the complexity of 1st ed. Took to it like a duck to water even though I had spent shedloads on 1st ed material.Had many wonderful years of gaming with 2nd edition but was horrified when I read in Dragon about the proposed changes to the system for 3rd edition. Felt like too big a change to the system, but I tried it and found that for me 3.X was the perfect expression of D&D. Thankfully I have a group of players who share the same point of view.Now, I really disliked the idea of 4th ed way before we ever learnt the changes to the system because 3.X had not been out long enough IMO (even though 2nd ed was out only 10-11 years). Then 4E was published and I sat down with the books and read them. I found them to be a complete travesty. This was not D&D but an attempt to translate MMORPG's to the tabletop arena. The system was too different that anything that had gone before it. IMO it was a step in the wrong direction.I have decided to go with Pathfinder because it takes 3.X and sorts it's issues and allows me to keep playing the version of D&D that I find best. Now I don't care what edition you play so long as you play and the hobby continues to exist and grow. However, I know that if someone comes to me and asks my opinion and thoughts on D&D which version of the game I would direct them to.</blockquote>
