[QUOTE="oreofox, post: 7897520, member: 6776240"] I have a memory of them saying something like that. I also remember them saying they were going to make Next very modular, so you could make 5e play exactly like an older edition of D&D. As you can see, that didn't exactly happen. That was one of the biggest selling points of 5e for me, being able to use my 2e stuff with no problem with 5e. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy 5e. It's the most fun I've had since early 3e. But I feel similar to the OP. Xanathar's, Volo's (well, half of it anyway) I have gotten a lot of use out of those two books. I also have the starter and essentials box sets. Only one adventure interested me, and that was PotA, because it had the sense that it would be similar to ToEE. It was a huge let down. I'm a DM that has a homebrew world.
