Message: <blockquote data-quote="Elf Witch" data-source="post: 5740256" data-attributes="member: 9037">Because in my opinion 4E is as bland as fast food take out. Which is why I compared it to it. Like I said YMMV. I don't think they improved the game at all as a matter of fact it took the game in a direction that I find discouraging. It is not by a long shot what I want out of a gaming experience and I don't think the woman I have introduced to the game would have found it more appealing.  You so many more decisions to  make in a combat round with your powers and you have to track them it is much more bookkeeping then a lot of them would enjoy. Here again other people may have a different experience. And just to make sure because after all this is the internet I am not attacking you or your choice to play and enjoy 4e. I am just stating my opinion on why I don't like the mechanics of 4E.  I also don't buy that the systems that came before lacked consistency well maybe after awhile in 2E where every DM started to have a dozen different house rules. But I have not found that to be true of 3.0 or 3.5. Once you learn the rules they seems to be used without a lot of house ruling by every DM I have played with. I don't think it is the system that makes play great it is the DM and the players a good system just makes that easier. Because a lousy DM can't make a game fun no matter how fantastic the system is. And again I have to disagree with your last statement I have never had an issue as a player or DM being able to build a balanced non cookie cutter character in 3E.</blockquote>
