[QUOTE="Obryn, post: 4257846, member: 11821"] Can't predict. 4e's niche protection will remind you a lot of 1e/2e. You may miss some stuff that's initially left out, but there's a lot left in & a lot new. 4e is not heavy on the realism. It aims to be a game, first and foremost. Immersiveness is what you make of it, on the other hand. If you imagine that you're playing through a very cool adventure [i]movie[/i] you should be good. If you're looking for an internally consistent world, you won't find it. It's imbalanced, with PCs intentionally operating much differently from everyone else in the world. Not a chance. If you're stuck on simulation - unless you are trying to simulate adventure movies and novels - it won't work for you. While 4e combat is, to all appearances, long, she probably won't find it boring. As a new player, she should get into it very quickly since she doesn't have a lot of baggage from previous editions. I think she'd enjoy it. 4e has simpler rules than 3e, overall, at least from my reading. Absolutely fine for both. I think the first will love the smashiness of the system. -O [/QUOTE]
